New subsea surface preparation tool featured at SPE Offshore Europe 2019
MontiPower UK has introduced a subsea hand-held profiling tool for in-situ corrosion removal and profiling of steel or alloyed surfaces in marine environments. The surface preparation tool is ideal for subsea welding activities and pipeline composite reinforcements.
Solid or dry film lubrication for OEM and MRO applications
Solid and dry film lubricants, which are applied as a non-fluid coating by spraying, dipping or brushing onto the surface, reduce the friction between parts and cannot be washed away.
How smart devices and the IIoT are driving predictive maintenance programs
The rise of smart devices ushered in by Industry 4.0 has led to an increase in the practice of predictive maintenance (PdM).
Trumpf and API hit it off with XD Laser, TruMatic 7000 combination
API's laser interferometer verifies Trumpf's punch laser machine with speed and accuracy.
Mark those calendars: Q4 trade shows for facility managers
A few upcoming U.S. shows that facilities management decision-makers and vendors alike may want to include in their travel plans.
High speed press propels aviation industry
This line of robot-fed, slab side hydraulic presses is boosting production for the aviation industry through the hot extrusion of superalloys to create aircraft components.
Georgia Tech researchers create a vanishing polymer for military applications
A team of researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) have developed a self-destructing polymer that when triggered or introduced to sunlight, vanishes almost immediately.
Green welding: good for the environment and the bottom line
A look at the ways the welding process can affect the environment and ideas for increasing environmental friendliness and long-term sustainability.
