  • Cold Pilger Rolling: Part One
    Cold pilger rolling is a very well established process for efficiently and effectively controlling product quality and assisting in meeting stringent product manufacturing specifications.
  • Abrasive Blast Cleaning: Part Three
    Abrasive blast cleaning is a varied but common process for the removal of unwanted matter like particulates, paints, rusts and even for de-burring through the use of kinetic energy.
  • Nanoperm Alloys
    Although a relatively recent discovery, nanocrystalline materials are a well studied group of materials which have some specific magnetic applications whilst exhibiting some useful property characteristics also.
  • Pyrometallurgy
    Pyrometallurgy is the oldest technique for metal extraction from the ore and mainly involves volatilization of non-ferrous metals like zinc, lead and cadmium out of an oxidised solid mixture by means of reduction by coke or coal.
