Metal parts fail at their surfaces first. Corrosion creeps in at edges, wear starts at contact points, and adhesion breaks down under the wrong environmental
Selecting the wrong sheet metal thickness can quietly derail a project. Parts that flex when they should stay rigid. Assemblies that weigh more than they
Single-material designs often force engineers to compromise between conflicting requirements like strength versus weight, conductivity versus corrosion resistance, or cost versus performance. Multi-material approaches enable
