SSW first had the pleasure of meeting Material and Inspection Specialist Mrs. Sari Musch in September 2015 when visiting the Neste refinery at Porvoo, Finland. There, in the company’s central office, she kindly outlined some of her work related to stainless steels. Two years later, SSW found it high time for a return trip to Finland to catch up with Mrs. Musch and her many and varied projects.

Bilfinger Salamis UK has been awarded a multimillion pound contract for technical manpower services on Shell U.K. Limited southern North Sea (SNS) assets.

Verolme® Special Equipment BV has recently completed the welding procedure qualification and production welding for heavy wall pressure vessels in Titanium Alloy grade 5.

It has long been known that the parts per million range quantity of trace elements has a tremendous influence on the properties of otherwise pure metals (AE van Arkel, Reine Metalle, Berlin 1939) which is also true for nickel. The norm for the purest nickel grade – Ni 270 – was established decades ago for vacuum tube parts.

Inert has developed a new line of powder filtration systems designed for additive manufacturing and other industries that require collection and disposal of particles and particulate that may be reactive, corrosive, or otherwise require special handling considerations.

The Nuclear AMRC’s powerful new disk laser cell is now open for collaborative R&D into high-performance welding techniques.

ESAB Welding & Cutting Products announced that it has completed the acquisition of the Sandvik welding operations including production units in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and Sandviken, Sweden, as well as multi-year strategic collaboration on R&D for future product developments.

ULT AG has introduced a conductive version to its device series LAS 260. The new system is ideally suited for extraction and filtration tasks in processing materials that may generate easily inflammable or explosive dust/air mixtures, such as titanium.

In this research paper super duplex stainless steel SAF 2507 has been selected to investigate the intergranular corrosion resistance of friction welded SDSS SAF 2507 joints. The joints were welded at three different rotational speeds: 700 rpm, 1080 rpm and 1600 rpm and three different friction pressures: 40 Mpa, 69 Mpa and 78 Mpa.
