North America’s largest metal forming, fabricating, welding and finishing event will be held at the North and South Halls of McCormick Place, Chicago, Illinois, USA, November 18-21, 2013. The upcoming event is expected to cover more than 550,000 net square feet and anticipates over 35,000 attendees and 1,500 exhibiting companies.
Making holes is a common job, but the challenge is how to produce them to high degrees of accuracy and surface finish. For many companies the answer is simple – HONING. The honing process is quite ancient in its origins. Today, honing is a fast stock removal process comparatively.
One of the best things to happen in the Metalworking Fluid Community was when STLE took up the task of creating training programs for Metalworking Fluid Mangers and staff. In my estimation, nothing did more to clean up the tens of thousands of sumps in America in the last 1/2 century than the introduction of the STLE courses on metalworking fluids. Here is an opportunity to pick up additional training or to get the all i
Last month we discussed the flammability of metalworking fluids as part or of HSE and the Law Month. The flammability of fluids in most other aspects of manufacturing present the better known hazards, such as in hydraulic oils and quenching oils. In the July Issue of TLT Magazine, FIRE RESISTANT FLUIDS is the cover story. In this article you can learn about the chemistry, the regulatory efforts and
LuminUltra Technologies is a Canadian-based global leader in microbiological control solutions across water-related industries. LuminUltra's equipment provides on-the-spot decision-making based on the fastest and most comprehensive test results available on the market today. No more dip slides for daily monitoring.
Actually, it's more like a drug testing kit. It’s not a secret that the success of a Metalworking Fluid is more about maintenance than formulation. A relatively simple formulation can provide solid performance if well maintained. This Coolant Test Kit from Tektrak provides a nice assembly of items useful to the metalworking fluid professional for day to day condition monitoring in a single carrying case.
Poor cutting tool life, poor surface finish, and swarf flushing are common problems associated with metalworking fluids. Often, these problems can be overcome with additional fluid pressure. Modern machining requires continuous, uninterrupted operation. As cutting cycles get more complicated, the high pressure coolant system needs to respond to automatically adjust the pressure delivered to the cutting interface. LNS’s latest innovation combines the latest software technolog
June is over, but we will report year round on the Health, Safety and Environmental impact of Metalworking Fluids. A critical element of our lives is “ENERGY.” For metalworking fluids we are always concerned for extended fluid life, less disposal, less tool wear, better filtration and what not.
Falcon Industrial and Benchmark Fluids are industrial chemical companies that develop and manufacture metalworking fluids, industrial lubricants, and surface technologies for metalworking industries. Falcon Industrial is headquartered in Milwaukee, WI and Benchmark Fluids is headquartered in St. Louis, MO. The combined company will have over 500 customers throughout North America and Asia.
[MWFMAG EXCLUSIVE] Today is the last day of LAW MONTH. Today we remember Mr. Felipe Presas. It has been ten years since we first reported on the death of war veteran Felipe Presas. He was a resident of Missouri City, Texas, living in an older one-story home on a well-kept street with large, mature oak trees.
