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 Varying Personalities of Exotic 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 – 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.
