📱 Smartphone Mid-Frame & Structural Chassis

Large thin-walled perimeter frame with complex internal ribbing, threaded inserts, antenna bands, and precision locator features

Design Principles

Material: Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V) offers 3x the yield strength of 6061 aluminum at similar density, enabling thinner cross-sections for lighter phones with better drop protection.

Form: Plate stock for CNC machining the complex mid-frame geometry from solid. Near-net-shape forging for higher-volume production runs.

Engineering Trends

  • Process: CNC milling from plate (or near-net forging)
  • Process: Thread insert installation
  • Process: Surface anodizing / PVD coating

Standards Reference

Standards: ASTM B348 Grade 5, STA condition, 100% dimensional inspection, anodized / PVD finished
