The Unfailing Stainless Steel for Brewery
What stainless steel and beer have in common? Beer lovers know that some types of stainless steel are suitable for contact with foods. Indeed, these types of steel are frequently used in brewery. What type of stainless steel to use? As we know, there are different types of steel. In the case of systems for the […]
Why Choose the Stainless Steel for Flue Pipes?
Stainless steel for flue. The winter is coming and your customers are tied up with mounting of flue pipes. Why not encourage them to use those in stainless steel? Why choosing stainless steel for flue pipes? In recent years, there has been a growing diffusion of stainless steel flue pipes, as the use of this […]
What Are the Sources for Metallurgical Instabilities?
The metallurgical situation can be modified by various factors such as stress, time, temperature and environment. In fact, these elements can increase or decrease the resistance. Metallurgical instabilities – The instability sources What are the sources of metallurgical instability? There are many causes that may lead to instability, here we see some of them: Some […]
About the Fatigue Strength of Metals and Alloys.
In our today’s blog post about the fatigue strength of metals and alloys. Usually, this type of resistance is represented as S-N curves. Here the stress with the number of cycles to failure are related. High temperature fatigue Temperature has a significant effect. It is well known that an increase in temperature always results in […]
Industrial Steel 3D Printing. What Are the Possible Applications?
The use of 3D printing in industry has become increasingly frequent in recent years. For this type of printing is used different types of materials, and one of them is precisely the steel (of course in different formulations). You can create molds, drive pulleys for pumps or rotors for medical equipment. What materials are used […]
Boating: More About Stainless Steel Marine Hardware
As mentioned in the last week post, we want to give you some information about stainless steel marine hardware. Clamps, threaded couplings and more In the post of last Thursday we talked about many stainless steel marine hardware, such as calibrated chains, mooring shocks absorbers and much more. On boats, for example, in addition to […]
Hand Swager – How to Make Splice? And Why to Do It?
How can you join the ends of two ropes or create an eye at the end of a rope? There are two common methods: tying a knot or making a splice. Below is a brief guide to rope splicing using a hand swager. How to Make a Splice A splice is created by interweaving the […]
Types of Thread – What Elements Characterize Them?
Usually, screws, bolts and nuts have single threads. However, there are double-threaded (or triple-threaded) components that provide an advance equal to twice (or three times) the pitch, respectively. It is possible to differentiate the various types of threads required by standards for the profile shape. The latter, in fact, are intended to fulfil functional requirements […]
Metal Dusting Corrosion for Stainless Steel
As mentioned in other posts, the metals corrosion is a real chemical reactions. Briefly, they are phenomena that cause slow material deterioration in contact with the external environment. Today we will talk specifically about metal dusting corrosion. What is metal dusting corrosion? These corrosion can stand out in the dry corrosion (at high temperatures and […]
Molybdenum – How It Is Being Used
In 1781 the Swedish chemist Peter Jacob Hjelm was able to isolate the molybdenum from its oxide. In fact, this element in nature is present in “molybdenite” usually in the form of sulfide MoS₂ (similar to graphite and lead sulphide). What is molybdenum? Molybdenum is defined a transition metal. What are its characteristics? Here is […]
