Lead and Lead Alloys
Lead is the first and oldest metal was known to man. The first figure made about 3000 BC. All civilizations, have used lead for many ornamental and structural purposes Compositions and Grades The Unified Numbering System (UNS) designations for various pure lead grades and lead-base alloys: Pure leads L50000 – L50099 Lead – silver alloys […]
Forging Notes For Non-Ferrous Metals
Non-ferrous metals have little or no iron in their composition. They include aluminum, brasses, and bronzes, the precious metals like platinum, gold and silver. They are used in alloy form, being alloyed with elements common to the steels, like nickel, manganese and silicon. Also alloying two different non-ferrous metals to create a third non-ferrous metal […]
Management of Machinery on Construction Projects
Successful project management begins with suitable equipment selection. This involves, choosing the tool that associates with conditions, and provides the smallest total cost. The Lowest total cost is a combination of maximum production, lowest operational rate, and lowest expend. Obtaining equipment based exclusively on purchase price or production. A new machine must also be assessed, […]
Cobalt and Cobalt Alloys
Cobalt is useful in applications that utilize its magnetic properties, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and its strength at elevated temperatures. Particular emphasis is placed on cobalt-base alloys for wear resistance, because this is the single largest application area of cobalt-base alloys. In heat-resistant applications, cobalt is more widely used as an alloying element in nickel-base […]
Construction Machinery and Equipment Terms & Definitions
This International Standard specifies terminology for machines and equipment used in the building construction industry, for ease for reference and for use in discussions on standardization activities. This International Standard refers to machines and equipment used on construction sites. They are divided into five groups: assembly of machines and components for installation and extraction of […]
An Introduction to Shrink Wrapping Covering Applications as well as Materials and Machinery
Shrink wrapping is a particularly well-established form of packaging that has developed over the past four to five decades. Essentially, material is produced such that molecules are stretched as part of the manufacturing process. When this material is subjected to heat, the elastic memory of the plastic is activated, causing the material to shrink around […]
Hydraulic Machinery
What is hydraulic machinery? Hydraulic machinery refers to machines that use high pressure fluid to accomplish work. They are most common in heavy equipment for industrial use. More specifically hydraulic fluid is pumped to a high pressure level and then moved throughout the machines by different actuators. The hydraulic pump itself is powered by a […]
About Deburring Machinery
Deburring machinery is used for the removal of burrs that consequence from machining operations on metal and plastic parts. Burrs are unwanted projections that occur on the surface of a manufactured piece. There is a wide range of deburring machinery used in the industry. Barrel and vibratory tumblers are used for deburring large numbers of […]

How much to charge customers for shipping and handling? is one of the most delicate issues facing online merchants today . Charge too much, and an online customer may decide that buying emporium is a much better bargain. Charge too little, and an online merchant may soon find itself bankrupt. There are several suggestions on […]
Freight Debate
Shippers typically either declare value or purchase insurance. But obtaining this coverage can significantly increase your shipping costs. Self-insuring freight is an option you might want to consider. You usually have some coverage even if you don’t ask for it. “If you don’t declare value on an LTL shipment, it defaults to $25 a pound.
