What are LED lights? LED (Light Emitting Diode) light is a light emitting diode, an electronic device that converts electrical energy into light energy. How LED Lights Work LED lights work on the principle of light emission based on semiconductor materials. When a current is passed through a PN junction, forward injected electrons and holes located in the active layer of the PN junction compound to release energy. This energy is emitted in the form of light. In semiconductors, they release excess energy through carrier complexes, resulting in the emission of photons that directly emit red, yellow, blue, and green light. Based on this, any color of light can be emitted by adding phosphors using the trichromatic principle. Depending on the material and material structure, the color, brightness and power of LED light may vary. Commonly used in wall lights, street lights and other fields...

Sandblasting is a common surface treatment method in aluminum alloy product manufacturing and CNC machining production. In this article, I will detail the principles, application methods, advantages and disadvantages of the sandblasting process. What is sandblasting? Sandblasting is a surface treatment technology powered by compressed air to form a high-speed jet beam, the jet (such as sand, pearl salt, sodium bicarbonate, glycine powder, silver, etc.) high-speed jet to the surface of the workpiece or object to be treated. The beaded medium is guided to the surface of the material. The target surface is smooth, clean and shiny by friction reaction. Sandblasting is a traditional and time-consuming process for large and complex materials with different shapes. As a result, the concept of sandblasting was patented and introduced in the United States in 1870. The concept of sandblasting comes from the natural phenomenon of sand erosion caused by dust in desert areas. What is sandblasting used for...

Aluminum surface treatment process can be divided into: Aluminum surface treatment process have those? I. Polishing Polishing is a common aluminum processing method, designed to reduce the roughness of the surface of the workpiece through mechanical, chemical or electrochemical action, so as to obtain a bright and flat surface. This processing method mainly utilizes polishing tools and abrasive particles or other polishing media to modify the surface of the workpiece. The main purpose of polishing is not to improve the dimensional or geometrical accuracy of the workpiece, but rather to focus on obtaining a smooth surface or mirror shine. In some cases, polishing is also used to eliminate luster, i.e., matting. A common tool used in the polishing process is the polishing wheel, which is usually made of multiple layers of canvas, felt or leather laminated together and clamped on both sides by a circular metal plate. The rim of the polishing wheel is coated with a polishing compound, which...
