Weldability-Sif, the UK based supplier of MIG, TIG, MMA, Spot and Oxy/Fuel welding and Plasma cutting machines, torches, accessories, consumables and personal protective equipment is working alongside The Welding Institute (TWI), Cambridge, the UK’s leading research institute in materials joining technologies and EAL certification, to initiate foundation level welder skills training at Stevenage Skills Centre as a first step towards a full appr...

In response to the rapidly increasing demand for accurate and dependable machining of large parts, precision cutting tool expert MAPAL has developed two new approaches to tool design. The first uses welded construction to reduce tool weight, while the second relies on the use of carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CRFP) tool extensions not only to reduce weight but also to enhance machining accuracy.

Desmond King, president of Chevron Technology Ventures, has been appointed as the 69th president of IChemE (the Institution of Chemical Engineers).

Shackle load cells are used widely in lifting and weighing applications and LCM Systems, one of the UK’s leading designers and manufacturers of load cells and load monitoring systems has seen a recent surge in the demand for its recently launched TELSHACK range of wireless shackle cells. Designed specifically for use in harsh or rugged environments, these innovative load cells are already in use in applications such as under-hook hoist and cran...

New pipeline technology developed in association with Northumbrian Water has scooped a national award for innovation.

Commonly defined as the controlled heating and cooling of metals to change their microstructure and mechanical characteristics, such as hardness, ductility, tensile strength and impact resistance, heat treatment is a core phase in many manufacturing processes. It enables engineers to vary the properties of a given material to optimise its design performance and ensure consistent, reliable results. In this country, the top heat treatment technolog...

At the Poole factory of Thompson Valves Ltd has been replaced by a batch cleaning machine that is proving much more versatile in operation. Called Elba, the aqueous machine is supplied in the UK by Turbex. The superseded washing, rinsing and drying line, which was also water-based, processed components on a continuous belt and did not have the ability to rotate the parts. As a result, there was a risk of water being retained within the valve bodi...

AGY announced today that it has increased production output of its S-2 Glass fiber reinforcements by twenty percent with the capability to further increase its output as market demands dictate. This expansion enables AGY to meet growth in both the aerospace and industrial markets for high-performance glass fibers used for composite reinforcement.
