EMMEDI Announcement: Two customized Bright Annealing Systems installed in the USA

Posted in news from companies, news number 69, Uncategorized.

EMMEDI confirms its leading role in induction technology and applications by focusing on innovation and customization of products.

After the introduction of the Mosweld SiC, the evolution of HFI welder with SiC silicon carbide transistors, EMMEDI has focused and invested on innovative, customized bright annealing processes to answer the market’s new and extremely demanding requirements.

Besides Research and Development on challenging projects, 2019 has started with the completion of two highly customized in-line tube bright annealing systems.

The two units, installed in the USA, are characterized by improved production flexibility and by attention to energy savings, aspects becoming more and more pressing in the tube sector.

Specific annealing treatment has been studied and equipment has been tailored to process different materials (austenitic and ferritic stainless steel and exotic alloys) and sizes (OD 9 to 30mm – 0.5 to 3mm wall thickness; OD 25 to 50 – 0.5-4mm wall thickness) according to customer’s specific requirements.

Thanks to the synergies established by joining the Ajax TOCCO Magnethermic^® group of companies, the two bright annealing systems will benefit from the support of local service assistance in cooperation with EMMEDI’s engineering staff.

For over five decades, EMMEDI has earned an outstanding reputation in the tube industry. From vacuum tube to solid-state welders utilizing the new SiC technology, EMMEDI supplies a full line of industry 4.0 ready products to the tube, pipe and wire industries.

The partnership with Ajax TOCCO has secured the EMMEDI brand a steady presence in the market through widespread technical support, global solutions and after sales services from worldwide locations.

Victrex celebrates 40 years of Peek success, with much more to come

Posted in Uncategorized.

After PEEK had begun to capture the imagination of a handful of people, the first batch of the HPP was manufactured at ICI, a major chemical company, on November 19, 1978. Only three years later the commercialization of the first PEEK polymers, the “VICTREX PEEK” family including glass- and carbon-filled products, followed. Today, this versatile material is used to solve complex engineering challenges, often replacing metals.
“Today, PEEK´s impact can be felt high in the sky, deep in the ocean and even under the skin. There seems to be no limit to the ways people are turning PEEK into brilliant solutions,” says Jakob Sigurdsson, Victrex CEO. “Starting with a handful of employees, today more than 900 people wake up every day and focus on PEEK around the world, seeing success in Asia and the US, as well as in Europe. We operate three state-of-the art polymer manufacturing facilities with a total nameplate production capacity of 7150 tonnes. We also have facilities that enable us to make film, pipe, composite tape and other product forms and components. Although we’ve grown significantly, the heart of our business remains with our customers and the innovation, focus, knowledge, and passion of our people.” The inert properties of the versatile PAEK polymers are one main reason for their success. This family of polymers is ideally suited to extreme and demanding environments. While alternative materials can meet specific needs, PEEKs are located at the top of the polymer pyramid and can support multiple requirements. Their properties include light weight, high strength, and high resistance to wear, high temperatures, fatigue and aggressive chemicals. Together, these outstanding properties contribute to enhanced fuel efficiency, extended part life, greater comfort (smooth operation, less noise), more design freedom and greater cost efficiency.

Tenaris inaugurates the new TRT2, the heat treatment plant costing 30 million

Posted in news from companies, Uncategorized.

The Bergamo-based company TenarisDalmine inaugurated, on Monday 3 September, the new TRT2, the heat treatment plant (that improves the mechanical characteristics) of medium and large diameter pipes. An investment of almost 30 million dollars, made in 12 months of work, which allows TenarisDalmine to treat a greater quantity of pipes, with diameters up to 711 mm in diameter and 40 mm in thickness, and to improve the quality, thanks to the new sandblasting, grinding and taping plants. The new TRT2 system, as reported on the website www.bergamonews.it, reduces energy consumption at the same time and ensures the safety of working conditions.

EMO LIVE – Interesting but quiet opening day

Posted in first, Uncategorized.

It’s a usual day of September her in Hannover: cold, windy and, obviously, rainy, sunny, rainy again. Emo has started, charged of expectations and fears: expectations coming from its motto: “Connecting systems for intelligent production”, that is a new aim to Industry 4.0, a run to the future that could mean a new era for the exhibition, seen and lived in a slow decrease of interest more than numbers.

The fear, obviously, is that the onslaught is not enough to confirm the importance and need for market of general exhibition such as EMO. See in the future, even we must note that in tube sector many companies have decided not to attend.German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier officially opened EMO Hannover 2017 this morning, stating that “an open society and prosperous economy rest on a foundation of communication and trust. Trade fairs like EMO embody this in a concrete and tangible way. Fortunately, this tradition continues to flourish, even in an age of digital catalogs, video conferences and just-in-time production.”Over 2,200 exhibitors from 44 different nations (compared with 2,131 in 2013) are showcasing their machines, solutions and services for industrial production at the event: Luigi Galdabini, CECIMO President, said that “in Emo we are showing the best potential of our industry, creating the biggest technological laboratory the world has ever seen”. EMO Hannover 2017 is taking place in a promising economic environment. The mood is good and key economic indicators are pointing upwards,. Meanwhile, the IMF just recently confirmed its growth prognosis of 3.5 percent for global GDP.According to forecasts by British-based Oxford Economics industrial production and investment on the part of the machine tool industry’s main client industries is expected to grow this year by 3.4 to 5.6 percent. Asia is expected to take the lead in in-vestment growth at a rate of 6.5 percent, followed by Europe and the Americas. Machine tool consumption is expected to grow at a rate of 3.2 percent. Europe is in first place here, with growth of 4.0 percent. The southern European nations of Italy and Spain, but also France – all three large machine tool markets within Europe – continue to be stable drivers of European growth.The promises are encouraging, but the first day is not enough to say if they will be real: as usual, the start is slow, except in the halls dedicated to tools, where rows were already crowded.More news in next days. Stay tuned.
