Read MoreLow-carbon steels corrode in most of the atmospheric environments when the relative humidity exceeds 60%. Corrosion is the destruction or deterioration of a material because of reaction with its environment. Most common corrosion control methods use coatings and conversion layers, which contain toxic and environmentally hazardous materials. There is a need to find nontoxic and environmental friendly alternatives compatible with current industrial techniques.

Read MoreThis year, Tesker Manufacturing Corporation, Saukville, WI, USA, celebrates 50 years of thread rolling excellence. Redesign of All Rolling Machines – Tesker has now completed a redesign of all the company’s machines to feature servo-driven, electro-mechanical actuator on the press axis. This feature allows for high-speed actuation and complete push button control over size adjustments, force control and feed rates. Along with a new precision slide system, these features produce a highly rigid and simple to operate machine. Additionally, the elimination of the machine’s hydraulic system saves energy and maintenance as well as reduces noise.
