The addition of a hydroform deep-draw press from Quintus Technologies brings increased capacity, flexibility and production efficiencies to aerospace parts manufacturer Aeroforma Technologies. Installed at the company’s facility in Cheltenham, United Kingdom, the press uses hydraulic pressure up to 11,600 psi to form parts in a variety of shapes, thicknesses and tough materials. Proprietary flexible-forming technology enables the press to perform four forming operations in a single machine. In addition to block tool forming, cavity tool forming and expansion forming, it is also equipped with a movable punch forming system for deep drawing of intricate shapes.

Question: I was torch brazing a large-diameter copper tube into a copper fitting and built up a nice fillet on the top of the joint at my customer’s request. Someone told me that the joint I made was not a properly brazed joint but was a braze-weld instead. What did he mean? How does braze welding with a torch compare to what I thought I was doing?

Boston Metal Seeks to Decarbonize Steelmaking

January 15, 2021
No Comments

Boston Metal raised $50 million in Series B funding, positioning the company to accelerate industrial-scale deployments of its molten oxide electrolysis (MOE) technology toward emissions-free steel. The company’s MOE technology uses electricity to transform metals from a raw oxide form into high-purity molten-metal products, facilitating CO2 emissions-free steel production from a wide array of iron ores in a potentially more efficient, less costly and more sustainable approach.

Nucor Minimill Starts Up in Florida

January 12, 2021
No Comments

Nucor Steel Florida safely started on schedule in December 2020 by melting, casting and rolling in endless mode from the first heat. Located in Frostproof, Fla., the minimill has a rated capacity of 380,000 shtpy and will produce rebar ranging from 0.37-1.4 inches (9.5-35.8 mm) in straight bars up to 60 feet and spooled coils up to 5 tons. Danieli’s MIDA casting and rolling technologies significantly reduce the overall CO2 emissions due to the absence of a reheating furnace. Nucor Steel Florida will allow the company to satisfy the regional demand of steel rebar and recycle the scrap available in the area.

Joint Venture to Build EAF at AM/NS Calvert

January 11, 2021
No Comments

ArcelorMittal and Nippon Steel Corp. executed a definitive agreement to invest approximately $775 million to build an electric-arc furnace (EAF) at AM/NS Calvert, a joint venture between the companies located in Calvert, Ala. The EAF is scheduled to start operation in the first half of 2023. AM/NS Calvert currently produces steel-sheet products by processing semi-finished products (slabs) procured from domestic and overseas suppliers. The new EAF will enable the facility to manufacture the slabs necessary to produce its steel-sheet products. This, in turn, will enable AM/NS Calvert to shorten lead time in slab procurement, improve its productivity through utilization of self-manufactured high-temperature slabs and increase the domestic procurement ratio of slabs. The EAF will have a capacity of 1.5 million metric tons per year.
