    Welding 2205 to 304l;2205 SS/2205 SS

    Ihave a local shop that is haing severe welding problems while welding 2205 SS/2205 SS and 2205 SS/340lSS. The welds are supposed to be strenght welds, no code. The equipment has been in use several years and is very dirty and coated with polymer. Best effort cleaning appears to have no effect...

    Old Textbooks

    many moons ago someone mention that they collected old textbooks and had a large collection. In the near future I am going to let go off my fathers ICS engineering textbooks, circa 1922 and would like to find them a good home. These books are in very good shape with the exception of the cover...

    Hydrotesting

    Would the use of 2 1/2" poly spheres for volume reduction be allowed during hydrotesting of a P.V? The purity requirements for the test water are extremely high due to a highly polished interior. The volume is 2250 gals with a test pressure of 40 psig. Other test media has been ruled out...

    Tower One

    This purely academic. I watched the Discovery Channel Program on building Tower One at the WTC site where it showed the Iron Working Connector Crews hanging iron for the new building when the question came up about the bolting in specific.

    Skilled Workers

    Why design something if you can't get it made without sending it off shore. Several recent items in the news have concerned the lack of skilled labor available for a good number of companies now hiring. This rather long article brings up quite a few very good points that need to be addressed...

    Serendipity

    2 weeks ago I was at a local electric motor shop checking on a new alternator for a friend's boat and since it was for a 32V system there was a little discussion and some contact information was taken to contact me.

    A Camera for Seniors

    This is camera that I've been needing for years. It looks great for everyday photos, but I think it has tremendous potential for industrial and hopefully Microscopy. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/22/technology/22camera.html

There was quite a bit of chemistry and engineering that went into developing the process. It is ironic that the banner on this article has an ad for a...
