When selecting materials for robot components, several factors are considered. Apart from specific properties like strength, durability, and corrosion resistance, cost-effectiveness and compatibility with the manufacturing process are taken into account. The operating environment, weight, and mass distribution, as well as mechanical properties such as flexibility and impact resistance, are also important considerations. Electrical conductivity or insulation, compatibility with joining methods, and compliance with regulatory and safety standards play a role in material selection. Additionally, the availability and stability of the material's supply chain are considered. By considering these factors, materials can be chosen that meet the functional requirements, durability, performance, and cost-effectiveness for robot components in diverse applications.
