Xiris Automation announced that it has modified its WI2000 automatic inspection system to measure the weld bead geometry and forming characteristics of High Voltage Cable.

Somerset Community College’s (SCC) Additive Manufacturing (AM) program has successfully produced stainless steel parts using a USD600 desktop 3D printer.

Significant developments recently have resulted in the introduction of new nickel alloys that offer major improvements in mechanical properties. Not least is Inconel 740H1, an alloy offering enhanced resistance to coal ash and therefore of considerable interest to fossil fuel fired boiler manufacturers.

voestalpine Böhler Welding has acquired a majority stake in the traditional Italian manufacturer for welding machines, Selco s.r.l..

Inconel alloys such as Inconel 625, 718 and X750 are widely for piping and valves in the offshore sector. Although these alloys are used widely for both internal and external corrosion resistance, they have different applications such as increasing mechanical strength, reducing friction and galling, facilitating cycling and mitigating fatigue stress.

The regulations and standards governing the tube sector demand ever more restricting levels of quality from the manufacturers.

To continue implementing the endeavor to impress the customers with the quality and reliability of performance in the future, the organizational structure at BUTTING in Knesebeck was changed at the end of last year.

ESAB Welding & Cutting Products recently announced that it has finalized the transition to the Exaton™ brand name for all welding filler metals involved with its 2018 acquisition of Sandvik Welding Consumables.

Based in Spain, Envases Técnicos Zaragoza S.L. (Entinox), is a leading manufacturer of stainless steel beer barrels/kegs. Henkel has helped it to set up an innovative pickling and passivating line using a nitric acid-free process. Benefits include superior HSE performance and bath life over traditional mixed acid pickling systems as well as outstanding corrosion resistance.

Deep within the Tarim Basin of Xinjiang, China, pipelines transport natural gas as it is extracted and refined for distribution throughout the country. However, gas leakage has been a recurrent issue as a result of pipeline corrosion. Enter the ‘Pipeline Dragon’: constructed entirely of molybdenum-containing 2205 duplex stainless steel, a new pipeline promises to reduce gas leakage, preventing environmental disaster while conserving resources.
