Product Description
Aluminum, stainless steel, brass dowel pins are mechanical components used to locate and align two or more parts in a precise manner. They are cylindrical in shape and are usually made from aluminum, stainless steel, or brass materials.
Aluminum dowel pins are commonly used in lightweight applications that require high corrosion resistance. They are lightweight and inexpensive, making them an ideal choice for low-stress applications.
Stainless steel dowel pins are known for their high strength-to-weight ratio and excellent durability in harsh environments. They are often used in applications that require heavy loads or high temperatures.
Brass dowel pins are also used in various applications, especially if electrical conductivity or aesthetic appeal is required. Brass dowel pins have soft and flexible qualities, making them a better choice in low-stress situations.
Dowel pins can be round or diamond-shaped, with the latter providing greater holding power. They can also be knurled or fluted for easier handling and installation.

Application
1. Aerospace industry: Aerospace companies use aluminum dowel pins to reduce weight in aircraft parts. These pins are used in components where lightweight material is paramount for improved fuel efficiency, such as in aircraft panels and frameworks. Stainless steel dowel pins are used in aerospace assembly systems for their strength and durability. Moreover, brass dowel pins are employed in flight-control mechanisms and precision instruments that require excellent torque transmission.
2. Automotive industry: The use of dowel pins in the automotive industry is essential for aligning the moving parts of a vehicle. Aluminum dowel pins find applications in cars and trucks that require lightweight parts to improve fuel economy, such as in engine components, transmission gear, and steering systems. Stainless steel dowel pins are used in the manufacturing process of engines and chassis parts that require robust, corrosion-resistant material. Brass dowel pins are utilized in electrical components that require high electrical conductivity.
3. Medical industry: The medical industry uses dowel pins in various medical devices and equipment. Aluminum dowel pins are utilized in imaging equipment for MRI due to their magnetic properties. Stainless steel dowel pins are used in surgical instruments such as forceps, scalpels, and bone saws for their strength and reliability. Brass dowel pins are employed in dental equipment where patients are required to bite down during procedures because of their malleability, which helps prevent any potential teeth damage.
4. Manufacturing industry: The manufacturing sector uses dowel pins extensively in the production of various parts and components. Aluminum dowel pins are employed in consumer products such as furniture assembly, electronics, and cabinet making, among others, as they are easy to machine, lightweight, and cost-effective. Stainless steel dowel pins are used to align and hold parts together in manufacturing equipment due to their tensile strength and corrosion resistance. Brass dowel pins are utilized in electrical connectors and assemblies due to their good electrical conductivity and low melting point.

Surface Treatment
1. Anodizing: Anodizing is an electrochemical process that creates a protective layer of oxide on metal surfaces. The most commonly anodized metals are aluminum, titanium, and magnesium. Anodizing provides corrosion resistance, durability, and can also enhance the appearance of the metal.
2. Electroplating: Electroplating is a process where a thin layer of metal is deposited onto a conductive surface to improve conductivity, increase wear resistance, and provide decorative finishes. Commonly electroplated metals include copper, nickel, chrome, and gold.
3. Powder coating: Powder coating is a technique where powdered paint is applied electrostatically to a metal surface and then heated to form a durable finish. This method of coating provides excellent corrosion resistance, durability, and can also offer an aesthetic appearance.
4. Sandblasting: Sandblasting is a process where abrasive particles are propelled at high speeds to clean, etch, or remove a surface. Sandblasting is often used to remove rust or other unwanted surface materials from metal components and provides a surface that is ready for further surface treatments.
5. Brushing: Brushing is a technique used to create a distinctive finish on metal surfaces. Brushed finishes are achieved by mechanically rubbing the metal surface against a wire brush or abrasive pad, resulting in a uniform pattern of parallel lines that create a matte finish.
6. Polishing: Polishing is the process of producing a smooth, reflective surface on a metal surface. Polishing is achieved by progressively grinding the surface with progressively finer abrasives, ending with a polishing compound to produce a high-gloss mirror-like finish.
