Atlas Tech Talk: Progressive Ribs in Sheet Metal – Strengthening Without Added Weight
In sheet metal design, progressive ribs (also known as strengthening ribs) are raised or embossed features formed into a panel to significantly increase its rigidity and resistance to bending without adding excessive weight. By adding depth and contour to what would otherwise be a flat sheet, ribs greatly improve the panel’s moment of inertia –…
Atlas Tech Talk: Precision Threading in Sheet Metal with Extrude and Tap
Threading in sheet metal fabrication is crucial for secure and reliable assembly. Traditional methods like captive fasteners are effective but require time-consuming secondary operations. At Atlas Manufacturing, we’re advancing efficiency with our extrude and tap process, which integrates threading directly into the fabrication workflow. Let’s dive into how this process delivers precision, speed, and cost savings….

Protecting the Edge: Best Practices for Processing Galvanized Sheet Steel
Galvanized sheet steel carries its corrosion protection in a thin zinc coating bonded to the base metal. The protection holds as long as that coating stays intact, but every fabrication step that cuts, shears, bends, or welds the sheet disturbs the zinc in some way. A laser cut vaporizes it. A weld burns it off…
