Stainless steel is popular because of its ability to resist rust and other forms of corrosion. It has become an indispensable part of modern industrial metal fabrication processes. Steel items are made for both construction and domestic use, and they are some of the most durable, easy to clean and affordable in the market. Here, are a few things which you may not know about the stainless manufacturing process. The alloys used

Powder coating is one of the favourite finishing techniques for several reasons. Firstly, it can be employed on an assortment of applications ranging from equipment to vehicles, making it particularly ideal if you plan to coat numerous items at a time. Secondly, powder coating is not vulnerable to cracks, chips and peeling as ordinary paint is, which saves you from spending time re-coating your items after some time. However, despite its enhanced endurance, powder coating is not invincible to eventual damage.

The industrial and manufacturing sector has advanced exponentially, particularly with regard to precision engineering. However, there are still situations in which you will need an engineer's scraper for some manual work. Basically, these tools are designed to facilitate the removal of excess material from manufactured parts so that they can fit together. For example, a scraper is handy for eliminating burs that would prevent a shift from fitting into a tube.

You should pay attention to the cooling tower fan assembly as you consider the cooling tower design that you are going to have installed at your industrial complex. This article discusses some design features that can help to reduce the safety or maintenance issues that you will have once the cooling towers become operational. Use of Carbon Fibre Couplings Several fans are usually arranged in groups within the cooling tower. Such an assembly usually relies on couplings that link the different fans to the motor and gearbox that is operating those fans.

Timber crates are one of the most common packaging methods available to manufacturers and distributors. However, some manufacturers are making some mistakes that could be causing them to lose money unnecessarily. This article discusses some mistakes that people who would like to open manufacturing plants should avoid during the packaging of their products in timber crates. Mistake 1: Building Timber Crates In-House Some manufacturers may think that it will be more cost-effective to fabricate their own timber crates instead of sourcing them from an external supplier.

Many companies have old wooden and shipping storage crates that they toss out but that are still in relatively good condition. They may be legally obligated to use new crates for certain shipments, or may find that the crates have gotten a bit soft or otherwise won't work for them while still being durable for other uses. Note a few fun and simple home projects you might consider using old wooden storage and shipping crates that you might find being discarded, or which you might buy for very cheap from a nearby shipping facility.

You'll have to pass a fire safety inspection test before a newly-constructed hotel can open its doors to the public. Reducing the potential fire hazard within the new establishment is perhaps the best way to ensure that you have an incident-free inspection. This is best done during the construction phase of the hotel. Here are a few ways to reduce the fire hazard rating in your new hotel. Cast Iron Over PVC Drainage Pipes 

Some new metal fabricators incur high costs to replace piercing and punching equipment that keeps breaking as it is being used. Such fabricators may not know what steps they can take to prevent those breakages. This article discusses some of the important factors you can pay attention to in order to prolong the lifespan of your press punch. Minimise Press Deflection Press deflection refers to the degree to which the punching press' ram isn't parallel to the bolster plate that provides the force used to punch through the material placed in the machine.
