AMS 5629 is a precipitation-hardening stainless steel. It has good ductility and strength at elevated temperatures, making it ideal for applications requiring higher temperatures than typical austenitic alloys can handle. Additionally, AMS 5629 is known for its superior corrosion resistance, especially against stress corrosion cracking in chloride-bearing environments. This steel type is often used in […]
Reliable metal suppliers can provide the materials necessary for your industry. Can also provide services such as cutting, forming, machining, welding, finishing, and assembly, as well as other services that may be needed for a specific project. Metals are important components in the Aerospace industry as they offer advantages such as high strength, corrosion resistance […]
Factories and warehouses are not known for being the most peaceful of places. Constant industrial noise can be a major source of disruption, posing health risks to workers, reducing productivity, and making operation conditions uncomfortable. Fortunately, there are sound solutions that can help mitigate these problems. Soundproofing materials such as acoustic foam panels, acoustic blankets, […]
When choosing to invest in a material, it is great to know what it can be used for. Whilst you may be investing in wire rope with a single-use in mind, it can be beneficial for businesses to know what other uses it can have as this can make it a more beneficial investment. Let’s […]
As time progresses, the world is changing. We all know about how the digital and technological world is changing, but what about other aspects? What about the world of laser cutting? Laser cutting machines have had their uses change. They are now being used for a range of different projects and reasons. Before deciding whether […]
When it comes to creating fascia panels, there’s simply no beating aluminium. It’s strong, lightweight and durable, making it the perfect material for control panels and other similar applications. Anodised aluminium is also resistant to corrosion, meaning it will look great and last for years. No control panel is complete without Anodised Aluminium panels, but […]
Fall arrest systems have been shown to save lives in certain situations. For example, if someone falls from a height and would have otherwise landed on their head, a fall arrest system can prevent serious injury or death. So how do they work? A fall arrest system is a form of individual fall protection that […]
An energy audit of the compressed air system in your facility can help you determine if there are any problems or possible equipment upgrades… essentially it covers whatever you need to know. A compressed air system, when properly set up and maintained, is a very flexible tool for most fabrication shops, garages and factories. It […]
