Titanium and its alloys have been used by many industries due to the benefits it provides. Titanium is a very light metal which is very strong and durable. The toughness of titanium is stronger than other metals like steel and aluminum. Titanium is being used by aerospace industries and for the manufacture of sports cars because of its high tendency to tolerate heat, light weight and high durability.

Titanium 6al-4v ELI is an alloy which contains 6% aluminum, 4% Vanadium and rest…

A usual imagination of pipe is hollow cylinder or tube which is used to transfer some sorts of liquid material from one place to another. It was in the middle of 19th century when bulk steel production started in India. It was the Bessemer process that made not only the bulk production possible, but also helped to produce it in cheaply manner. There is hardly any industry which is not using steel pipes today.

So wide are the applications of steel pipes and tubes. Earlier iron pipes…

Tubing benders are automation machines that are used to bend or shape metal. As an example visualize a trombone tuba, trumpet, french horn, brass musical instrument. Likewise lots of plumbing contains metal bars that have been bent by automation machines.

There's all kinds of tube bending and it's not just as simple as taking a bar or piece of metal and bending it. Heat and cold processes are sometimes used. A tubing bender can also perform press bending, rotary draw bending and…

Metal rolling essentially comprise passing a metal sheet or strip between a pair of rollers. Metal could be rolled for one or more of the following reasons:

• To boost the strength and hardness of the metal

• To make the metal less ductile

• To give it a smooth, well-finished surface

Whereas hot rolling is typically intended to change the dimensions of the metal, the cold rolling process doesn't change the wall thickness of the metal. Cold rolled steel or metal is…

There are two main types of pipe fittings commonly used in heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems; flanged and screwed. Screwed pipe fittings use a male and female thread combination and when screwed together tighten to form the joint. A flanged pipe fitting has a lip or extension projecting at a right angle to its surface. This lip is bolted to the facing lip of the adjacent fitting for added strength. Because of the strength of this fitting, flanged fittings are recommended for…

Pipe Fitting and its Sizes

Pipe fitting measurements are in indicated in either the English or the Metric System. It includes variety of features and stages and for this reason using the usual outlines would be discussed in this write up. In this article, readers are presented with some things to consider regarding pipe fitting and the like.

Types

Pipe fittings have many techniques. Usual methods are compression fittings, pitless adapters, flexible couplings and four-way…
