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.

Galling is a form of wear that is caused by metal surfaces in gliding contact with one other, such as the potentially hundreds of stainless steel bolts and fasteners holding production equipment and its moving parts together. With potentially disastrous effects resulting from galled fasteners seizing or even being subject to a fatigue breakage, industry players are advised to counter this threat.

Solution treatment refers to a heat treatment process in which the alloy is heated to a high temperature single-phase zone to maintain the temperature, and the excess phase is sufficiently dissolved in the solid solution and then rapidly cooled to obtain a supersaturated solid solution.
