Why Material Grade and Condition Matter
1117 is not the same as leaded 11L17; check lead restrictions and case treatment if applicable. Representative components include machined fittings, gears and pin components. Different grades can share a broad alloy family while requiring distinct finishing, inspection or material qualification. Procurement and engineering should agree on the supplied condition and part performance before accepting substitutions.
Precision Bar Supply and Processing
Mozaic Precision Metals offers project-specific centerless grinding, bar straightening, polishing, saw cutting, chamfering and packaging. Our quoting process considers material condition, diameter, length and the required final surface. Diameter tolerance, straightness and roughness should be specified and inspected separately.
