NeSSIE helping to develop anti-corrosion solutions in offshore renewables
NeSSIE (North Sea Solutions for Innovation in Corrosion for Energy) is a project designed to tap into the existing knowledge of anti-corrosion technology / novel materials solutions in the maritime sector supply chain to develop demonstration projects for offshore renewables in the North Sea. The corrosion solutions, when developed and commercialised, will provide global growth and job creation opportunities in remote regions in the EU.
Causes & resolution of stress corrosion cracking in steam turbines
Steam turbines are used across the world as a source of power for many different industries. Even with the best maintenance procedures and preventative maintenance techniques, problems can still arise. Resolving one of the more serious issues, that of stress corrosion cracking, can often be achieved in a straightforward manner by accurately identifying the causes.
Large-scale transports into the wide world
For decades BUTTING vessels have been used in a wide range of industries to meet the most diverse demands. Recently Butting Anlagenbau in Schwedt/Oder (Germany) – a specialists unit focusing on the construction of vessels – completed several large-scale high alloyed stainless steel orders in special transports.
How digital transformation is changing the face of visual inspection
Industry 4.0 is the next revolution, driven by data and characterised by the ‘Internet of Things’ (IoT), Cyber Physical Systems and Cloud Computing.
Traceability, we need to start somewhere!
These days it’s all about industry 4.0. For some that means digitization, sensors and automation. Others call it the fourth industrial revolution which is about decentralization and local production. But decentralization can also mean decentralized trust. In this article, I want to talk about the true advantages of the digital era as well as the benefits of a new technology called blockchain that provides decentralized trust. Specifically: how this could apply to the steel industry in general.
