Metal tempering is an important part of any metal fabrication operation. To temper, you must heat metal up, a process that changes its chemical makeup. Ultimately, this also makes metals stronger or softer, and allows us to perform functions we previously couldn’t. Here’s how we do it: The basic metal tempering process hasn’t changed much […]
Read moreUnderwater welding presents plenty of health and safety hazards. There’s the potential for serious burns, damage to eyes and even explosion. These are all significant risks, but they are child’s play compared to the dangers of underwater welding. Here’s a look at the dangers that underwater welders face on a daily basis. Spoiler alert: it’s not […]
Read moreHave you ever wondered what the difference is between metal and steel? These materials look unbelievably similar, but under the surface there’s a world of difference between metal and steel. We’ll take a look at the unique characteristics of these materials. By the time you’re done reading, you’ll know a little bit more about the world of […]
Read moreWaterjet cutting is relatively safe compared to other cutting technologies, but it still comes with its own set of hazards and special safety practices. Here are some useful tips to keep in mind when working with waterjets: Eyes, ears and fingers. Waterjet cutting doesn’t present the same problems as welding and forming, but that doesn’t mean you […]
Read moreIf you have welded for any time at all, chances are good that you’ve had to deal with metal cracking. Ever wondered why cracks happen, or what you can do to avoid them? Here’s a quick look at this common metalworking dilemma. In the world of metal fabrication, cracks are a cardinal sin. They are […]
Read moreLike aluminum, there are a variety of different stainless steels. You probably can’t tell them apart with the naked eye, but at the microscopic level there are significant differences. In all, there are over 100 different kinds, but only six of them are regularly utilized in industrial applications. Here’s a quick look at the difference between […]
