If you want to produce a flat surface, read about lapping—a finishing operation. An abrasive slurry within a glycol solution is applied to a lapping machine’s cast-iron lap. Likewise, a backing plate could do with a coated abrasive product. An abrasive’s fresh supply is ensured through a continuous feed system. The workpiece is rotated during …
When operating a workplace with dangerous materials, you must incorporate a protocol that keeps your employees and visitors safe during your operations. Be it clothing or the best heat-resistant tools, you and your employees will benefit from heat-resistant fabric.
The design and composition of mating faces in all mechanical seals are usually taken for granted but are crucial with respect to the prime objective—to prevent leakage reliably. To accomplish this, different materials are used—including silicon carbide, tungsten carbide, aluminum oxide, hard coatings and metals, mechanical carbon graphite with antimony, or resin impregnation. The first …
Machine liquid serves several important lubrication functions, for example, offering surface protection to prevent corrosion in the machined part, removing chip to prevent interference, and cooling to preserve tool life. However, machine liquid isn’t immune to contamination and degradation, two things that may affect the equipment operation and fluid performance significantly. To help optimize machine …
Numerous industries consider fire safety as one of their most critical concerns, and the textile/fabric industry is no exception. There’s no denying that flame-retardant fabrics have been used for years and in a plethora of different ways. The uses of flame-retardant fabrics are endless, and individuals are presented with a number of options to choose …
In many industries, compressors are responsible for the toughest sealing tasks. Compressor machinery is used in chemical processing, refineries, mining, petrochemical processing, food and beverage, biosciences, and environmental sectors. These industries deal with flammable, corrosive, or toxic media on a daily basis. Such demanding conditions call for compressor seals that are reliable, operationally safe, robust …
