    Featured Story – Making the Case for Portable Machine Tools

    Today, experienced machinists, fabricators, machine shop owners, and OEMs use their trade skills and experience to shape and reshape the world we live in. In all cases, the question is not, can they machine complex metal parts and components, but rather, can they do it efficiently for their customers and profitably for their employers?

    Featured Story – Machinability Improved Stainless Steels

    A machine shop in Finland uses machinability-improved 316L bar to boost cutting speeds and improve chip breakage. A fabricator of mechanical seals in Texas switches to a specially tailored 2205 grade of duplex stainless steel in hollow bar to triple turnaround times.

    Featured Story – The Most Profitable Sectors of the Food Industry for Stainless Steel...

    The world GDP is over $80 trillion, and more than $15 trillion of that is spent on food. Sugar purchases alone account for over $1 trillion of this GDP. There is also a high percentage of food revenues spent on stainless steel materials within this industry, as critical and severe service needs are required.

    Featured Story – The Varying Personalities of Exotics and Alloy Steels

    Did you know that every metal has its own unique personality, nuances, quirks, and mannerisms? Did you know that a welder should be a kind of ‘metal-psychiatrist’ to be able to do the welding job correctly? This is something that Travis Field of Legion Piping Fabricators, has become acutely aware of during his career.

    Featured Story – Synalloy Metals

    Synalloy Metals, and its family of companies, Brismet (Bristol Metals), Specialty Pipe and Tube, and American Stainless Tubing, was not always a combined force. After strategic acquisitions and leader-ship changes, the companies now proudly stand together to bring an impressive and diverse product portfolio to the market.

    Featured Story – Bridging the Gap Between Research and Industry

    An accepted manufacturing technique in some areas, 3D printing still seems to be in its infancy in others. One talented young man who is determined to play his part in furthering the practical application of 3D printing in the toughest of industries is Navin Sakthivel.

    Featured Story – Ways Toward Carbon Neutral Stainless Steel Production

    The steel industry ranks amongst the top three CO2 (carbon dioxide) emitters from the industrial segment, and many steelmakers have set carbon neutral goals for the 2030-2050 timeframe. In general, stainless steel producers have a smaller carbon footprint than most carbon steel producers — on average about half — yet many have focused on investigating and implementing various available decarbonization approaches.

    Featured Story – The Effects Of Low Temperature Carbon Diffusion On Stainless Steel

    Stainless steels along with Nickel based alloys are often selected for many applications in corrosive environments. While resistance to corrosion makes them a favorable choice, poor tribological behavior may prevent a broader use of these materials. The Kolsterising® process is a proven method for the surface hardening of these materials by the diffusion of carbon.

    Featured Story – Standard Duplex Stainless Steel Welding Procedure Qualification

    There are many precautions that need to be considered when welding duplex stainless steels. One of the biggest concerns is ensuring a proper ferrite to austenite phase balance. There are many precautions that need to be considered when welding duplex stainless steels. One of the biggest concerns is ensuring a proper ferrite to austenite phase balance. Several aspects will affect the phase balance of the weld metal and heat affected zone (HAZ) of a duplex stainless-steel weldment.
