An aluminum cold forming operation producing medical bottles was expensing an average $2.28 for tooling costs per drawn part. In addition to the cost, they were also experiencing inconsistent part quality. With 200,000 parts produced annually, the total annual cost Read more…


Summary: Freiborne, a seasoned chemical manufacturing company with over 40 years of experience, was sought by a prominent manufacturing firm facing safety risks and crippling operational costs due to their outdated, oil-based lubrication process in aluminum extrusion. After a thorough Read more…


Corrosion is defined as the deterioration of a material as a result of chemical reactions between it and the surrounding environment. Although corrosion affects a variety of materials including polymers and ceramics, the term is most often associated with the Read more…


Q: How do I improve transfer efficiency in my spray operation? A: There are several factors that impact transfer efficiency, including the spray equipment being used — both air and fluid pressure — as well as ambient temperature, humidity and Read more…


Preparation for processing it for application 0f a non-metallic zinc phosphate for either corrosion protection or painting In metal cleaning it is generally overlooked that water plays the most important part. Its condition (hard or soft), and degrees thereof determines Read more…


Stainless steels are highly corrosion resistant—however, stainless steel applications can still remain at risk to surface damage. Oxidation, corrosion, rusting, or staining can occur over the long-term in harsh environments without routine cleaning and maintenance. Repeat mechanical damage also contributes Read more…


The selection of the proper coatings and treatments to be used for a wear resistant job is the most important step in doing the job successfully. Each wear coating has different characteristics of strength, shrinkage, hardness, and other qualities, such Read more…


Today, most metal fabricators and machine shops have two parts-cleaning options: aqueous water-based cleaning or solvent-based cleaning inside a vapor degreaser. Both methods can provide quality cleaning results. However, each has its distinct drawbacks and advantages. Aqueous or water cleaning Read more…


Q: We make component parts for agricultural equipment. Some of the parts are small brackets and some are very large parts with bolted components, welds and different metal thicknesses. We want to convert from liquid coating to powder coating and Read more…


Corrosion is an age-old problem, but some of the latest solutions are distinctly 21st century. Corrosion has been a problem for as long as human have used metals – it’s no coincidence that the metals we consider most precious are Read more…
