‘Abrasive Material’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release James Walker designs advanced seat material from James Walker and Co, which we summarised at the time by saying "Working closely with valve manufacturers, James Walker Devol has developed Devlon V-API as a superior seat material that would overcome the individual shortcomings of all the other material grades.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release SGS offers acoustic emission testing package from SGS SA - Industrial Services: "SGS is offering an acoustic emission testing (AET) package, which allows users to locate structural defects and to monitor the material for discontinuities.".

In November 2009, we covered the news from Dassault Systemes - take a look at Dassault Systemes releases latest PLM 2.0 platform which says: "Dassault Systemes (DS) unveiled the latest release of its PLM 2.0 platform at its recent European Customer Forum.".

Take a look also at the news release from ITW Plexus, Designing joints and structural adhesives, as well as TEC unveils rapid-prototype machines at ACTE from Tech Ed Concepts, and Misumi bumper mitigates shock in automated devices from Misumi.
