Metalworking fluids are essential for surface processing. But what composition do they have? And which ingredients are used? Learn more. Fluid Composition Fundamentals When machining speeds were limited by muscle power, heat generation played only a minor role. When machines …

« Removing Stains and Discolorations From Lightweight Metal » Aluminum is a non-precious metal, meaning it reacts readily with oxidizing agents. When exposed to air, aluminum quickly forms a dense layer of aluminum oxide on its surface. This layer prevents …

Cold forming is a metalworking process where materials are shaped under significant compressive or tensile forces  with or without minimal preheating. This distinguishes cold forming from hot forming, with the dividing line being the recrystallization temperature. Formation of Material Microstructure …

We are surrounded by products made from diverse materials and shapes. Manufacturing processes transform raw materials like metal or plastic into semi-finished products such as bars, tubes, and sheets. These intermediate forms are then processed further to create finished products, …

The flash point is a fundamental safety parameter used to assess the hazards associated with flammable liquids. In surface treatment and processing, cleaning agents, solvents, paints, coatings, and lubricants are widely used — and many of them are flammable. Measures …

Metalworking facilities and auto repair shops often have a distinctive aroma of oil . When machines reach high temperatures, there is also a noticeable smoky odor. Any substance you can smell is present in the air and, therefore, can be …

Decorative surfaces in shiny colors are a beautiful sight for everyone. As a protective layer against mechanical and weather-related damage, moisture, or corrosion, surface coating plays a key  role. A durable paint finish is one of the ways to meet …

OEM stands for ‘Original Equipment Manufacturer’, referring to a company that produces components or products which are used in another company’s end products. In many industries, there are manufacturers that do not bring their products or components directly to market …

Equipment and machinery cleaning are essential maintenance activities across all industries. These practices extend the lifespan and maximize the uptime of expensive industrial equipment. Companies specializing in industrial cleaning continuously face challenges in selecting the most effective methods and cleaning …

« Mitigating the Effects of Influencing Factors on Plastic Aging » The aging of plastics is a slow process during which irreversible changes occur within the material. Although aging cannot be prevented, appropriate measures can delay it. This requires an …
