You’ve felt it before—the raw thrill of catching a wave with nothing but your body and a small piece of foam or plastic strapped to your hand. But if you’ve tried bodysurfing in Florida without a handplane, you know the struggle: your arm cuts through the water, your shoulder burns, and you miss the wave…
Not all coating companies are allowed to coat parts for aerospace and defence! There are specific approval processes in place that need to be followed for each specific coating process, and approving the wrong coating process for a particular part can result in that part being grounded. What OEM and NADCAP Approval Means OEM approvals…
Your wrist throbs after a long day of spreadsheet work. The dull ache in your forearm isn’t just annoying; it’s a warning sign. You’ve finally decided to ditch that flat, awkward mouse, but you’re on a strict budget. The good news? You don’t need to spend a fortune to save your wrist. Finding a reliable…
The battery life of a wireless call button is one of the most practical things to know about before purchasing a system for daily use. A dead call button at the worst possible time is one of the biggest let downs with a wireless call button system. Typical Lifespan by Battery Type The lifespan of…
You’ve been working on an important document for weeks, and suddenly, it’s disappeared. This heart-in-mouth moment can cause immense stress, particularly when deadlines are looming. Staying calm and following a few practical steps can help. Let’s look at some things to try when that document is simply nowhere to be found. Identify the Root Cause…
Aerospace engineering is about designing, building and looking after aircraft and spacecraft and it’s an industry that mixes practical skills and science so things can actually fly safely. It includes everything from planes to rockets and engineers don’t just design them, they also test and improve how they work in real life conditions. Main areas…
Thermal spray is a surface coating process used to protect and improve metal components by heating a coating material and propelling it onto a prepared surface, where it bonds and forms a strong, durable layer. This process is widely used in manufacturing, engineering and industry because it can extend the life of parts without the…
Thermal spraying is widely used to improve surface properties such as wear resistance, corrosion protection, and thermal performance. Regardless of the coating type or application, correct surface preparation is essential to achieving reliable adhesion and consistent coating performance. Poor preparation can compromise even advanced thermal spray processes.
Plating is a surface treatment process used where a thin layer of metal is applied to the surface of an object to make it stronger and resist corrosion. Two common plating methods are electroplating and electroless plating. Both are used to coat materials with metal, but they work in very different ways. How They Work…
