ST52 is one of the most commonly used low-Carbon steels. ST52 is used to manufacture structural components and mechanical parts and its excellently weldable. In this article, we will discuss the properties of ST52 and the welding techniques that are commonly used for processing this specific type of low-Carbon steel. Steel is graded based on […]
Aluminum Coatings Against Corrosion
Introduction Surface defense against corrosion is crucial, especially for certain industries. Technological advances give engineers more options and flexibility when it comes to surface protection. Different materials and industries call for specific protection methods, aluminum coating is one of those specific methods. What Is Aluminum Coating? The aluminum coating is the process of applying a […]
Hastelloy Applications in Explosive Environments
Hastelloy delivers strength at high temperatures and exceptional corrosion resistance, ideal for use in chemical process plants and petrochemical industry.
Grinding Sparks in Explosive Environments
The use of high-temperature gases and electrical arcs in welding means that as no mechanical energy has imparted the distance the sparks travel is reduced. However, in both cases, the hot material in spark form is close to the melting point of the material being worked on.
Dust explosions and how to avoid them
Work permit generation in process plants handling a highly flammable powder or combustible dust will necessarily focus on risk reduction or prevention.
Welding Aluminum – Weld Preparation and Material Removal
Welding aluminum is proof that technology and modern manufacturing come with certain advantages. Nowadays our manufacturing methods have evolved and we can build items that just a few years ago would have been impossible. Manufacturing applications are challenging but we continue to develop tools and techniques to make our life easier. Such is the case […]
Saw Blade Alternatives – Avoiding Risks
Manufacturing applications involving cutting and material removal in aluminum are particularly challenging. Cutting discs get clogged up and are simply not efficient or effective. Some users have resorted to circular saw blades and have used them in angle grinders. At a glance this seems viable, however not only is it extremely dangerous. You can see […]
18 Ways Angle Grinder Accidents Happen (and how to prevent them)
Here are some of the most common dangerous situations that can lead to accidents when using angle grinders.
How to Identify the 7 Most Dangerous Welding Defects
