We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Magnesium",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Pressure switches prevent expensive downtime from
Winters Instruments, which we summarised at the time by saying "A single false trigger in the steam turbines can cost the plant approximately US $41,000, excluding lost magnesium oxide production".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release Water conditioning controls dangerous limescale from
Hydropath (UK): "Management at a mining camp located north of Mt Newman decided to trial Hydropath water conditioning technology to reduce the impact of limescale".
In December 2007, we covered the news from Flir Systems
concerning its ThermaCAM GasFind IR LW
- take a look at IR gas detector monitors electrical assets
which says: "The ThermaCAM GasFind IR LW is optimised for leak detection of sulphur hexafluoride, a gas used as an insulator in electrical equipment".
Take a look also at the news release from Norse Precision Castings, Back both horses (plastic and metal) to win,
as well as Linear transmission meets aluminium needs from HepcoMotion,
and Stud provides accurate positioning from Profil UK.
