BraceBridge Engineering UK: Automotive Industry history and manufacturers
Automotive Industry- History and Manufacturers
Automotive History:
The history of automobile is not very old, it begins with the technological breakthroughs that took place in Europe in the early eighties and continues a century later with the pioneering efforts of American manufactures to begin mass-producing cars. The Automobile Revolution began with the appearance of automobile manufacturing, about the year 1890. At that time only Europe and North America possessed the technology to produce and successfully operate a mechanically powered road vehicle. In the initial stage of automobile production and its sale did not need huge investment or marketing knowledge. Manufacturing of automobiles could be started with little men power, but with the passage of time and as the industry grew, things started to change. The period 1895 to 1908 marked the first automobile boom. During these years, France dominated the young industry.

Ferrous metal usage for precision presswork and tooling
Engineering Ferrous Metal
Use of Ferrous Metals in Precision
All metals can be classified as Non ferrous metals and Ferrous metals. Ferrous metals are those metals which contain iron. They may have small amounts of other metals or other elements added, to give the required properties. All ferrous metals are magnetic and give little resistance to corrosion.
Most commonly used ferrous metals are Mild Steel, High Speed Steel, Stainless Steel, High Tensile Steel and Cast Iron.
Here are some ferrous metals with are used for tool making, manufacturing of pressed components.
Mild Steel, Cast Iron, High Tensible Steel,
Stainless Steel, High Speed Steel,
High Carbon Steel,Medium Carbon Steel

BraceBridge Engineering UK deals with ferrous and Non Ferrous Metals.
Engineering: Non Ferrous Metal
Use of Non Ferrous Metals in Precision Presswork Tooling
Non Ferrous metals are those metals which does not contain iron . They are not magnetic and are usually more resistant to corrosion than ferrous metals. Most commonly used non ferrous metals are Aluminum, Copper, Brass, Lead, Tin, Gilding Metal and Zinc, The details for these links are as follows:
Aluminium, Aluminium alloys (Duraluminium),
Copper, Brass, Lead, Zinc, Tin, Gilding metal.
