Cortec’s new, molybdate-free VpCl®-649 BD MF is a liquid formulation, which ahs been designed for long-term protection against

DNV GL has issued an approval certificate to thyssenkrupp, which names the company the world’s first producer of 3D-printed parts for maritime applications.

In his article ‘Titanium: Available and affordable material of construction for industrial applications’, Charles Young, Metallurgist and Business Development Manager at Tricor Metals, discusses the notion of how titanium is commonly used in aerospace and airplane applications, when really, it can be used for so much more.

DICSA has expanded its fittings and sizes for the stainless steel AISI 316L 43 Series and BW Series. These new sizes and fittings are suitable for a wide range of demanding applications in the marine, offshore, petrochemical, shipyards, food, and pharmaceutical industries, as they can withstand dynamic pressure profiles, surges, and peaks.With high corrosion resistance, which provides a simpler, quicker, and safer hose assembly, the new 43 Series fittings are suitable for R1AT, R2AT, R17, R16, 1SN, 2SN, and 2SC hoses, compatible with a wide range of thread combinations.

Sandvik Coromant has extended its insert geometries for the CoroMill® 311, expanding the list of suitable applications for the milling cutter.

Burloak Technologies, an Oakville, Ontario-based supplier of highly-engineered additive manufactured (AM) components for demanding applications, has partnered with the National Research Council of Canada (NRC).

In his article, ‘Increasing repeatability, reliability, and productivity in small diameter stainless steel’, Phil Meinczinger, a Business Development Manager at Magnetic Analysis Corporation (MAC), discusses the ever-increasing demand for small diameter stainless and specialty bars, tubes, and wires for critical applications such as automotive, medical, and aerospace, and how specifications are becoming more restrictive, therefore, placing extreme pressure on the productivity of non-destructive testing (NDT) equipment.

The University of British Columbia (UBC) has become the first Canadian university to install an Arcam EBM Q20plus 3D printer in a research setting.

A new technique is allowing researches to track microscopic changes in metals or other materials in real-time, while exposed to extreme heat and loads for an extended period of time.The technique, demonstrated by researchers at North Carolina State University in the U.S.A, will expedite efforts to develop and characterize materials for use in extreme environments.“Until now, you could look at a material’s structure before exposing it to heat or load, then apply heat and load until it broke, followed by a microstructural observation,” says Afsaneh Rabiei, Corresponding Author of a paper on the work, and a Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at North Carolina State University.

Castolin Eutectic, a Swiss company with locations across North America, has introduced two new plasma transferred arc (PTA) welding equipment models to its production line.
