Many spring manufacturers produce their parts by applying strong pressure to wind steel wire under ambient temperature to obtain the desired functional forms. Following this step, however, the spring accumulates too much internal stress, which may weaken it, meaning...
For an industrial oven manufacturer, the toughest challenge is obviously making sure that the heat is evenly distributed. It would be wrong to think that this is better achieved by batch ovens than by conveyor belt ovens. The laws of physics being infallible, many...
Manufacturing an industrial oven does not require understanding the subtleties of quantum physics! My guess is that some people in our industry still believe that the mechanical design of an industrial oven basically consists of a box made out of sheet metal and some...
Cited in every reference material on the subject, Edgar Bain, between the two World Wars, wrote the book on modern metallurgy. His works describing the many heat treatment processes (particularly tempering and stress relieving) remain relevant to this day in the...
The processes involved in steel quenching and tempering are as old as time. For the last 3000 years, we’ve known that rapid quenching of a red hot sickle blade in whale oil improves its mechanical properties, which nevertheless remain weak upon usage, unless the blade...
The auto part construction industry is booming and constantly evolving. Because production parameters for these types of parts call for increasingly advanced technology, our processes must be continuously optimised to the max to maintain our pole position ahead of the...
