Overview of Centrifugal Casting Centrifugal casting is a process that delivers components of high material soundness. As a result, it is the technology of choice for applications like jet engine compressor cases, hydro wear rings, many military products, and other high-reliability applications. It has also proven to be a cost-effective means of providing complex shapes…

Conductivity in metal is a measure of a metal material’s ability to transmit heat, or electricity (or sound). The reciprocal of conductivity is resistance, or the ability to reduce the flow of those. Understanding a material’s tendency to conduct may be a critical factor in the selection of that material for a given application. Clearly,…

Non-ferrous metals or alloys are defined as materials that are not iron-based like their ferrous counterparts. Common non-ferrous metals include copper, aluminum and lead. Ferrous metals contain iron making most of these metals have a magnetic property. Non-ferrous metals are found in the Earth as chemical compounds. The most essential non-ferrous metals happen to be…

Planned turnarounds are regular occurrences in the life cycle of a petrochemical plant. Every few years, a plant will go offline for a few weeks to upgrade capital equipment, perform regular maintenance, or improve worker safety – all activities that cannot take place while a plant is operational. When properly executed, a planned turnaround limits…
