We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Tensile Strength",
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 Eddy current sensor guide provides easy reference from
Micro-Epsilon UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "The miniature eddyNCDT eddy current displacement sensors use variable coil geometry to offer customers a sensor that has installation dimensions of less than 2mm".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release Drives save power on massive presses from
Control Techniques: "Alcoa's aluminium extrusion presses were upgraded in 1998, a big project requiring the installation of 12 132kW Unidrives".
In January 2008, we covered the news from EOS Electro Optical Systems (UK)
concerning its MaragingSteel MS1, PrimePart DC and PrimePart ST
- take a look at Novel powders expand rapid manufacturing options
which says: "New powders for laser-sintering in Eosint metal and plastic powder processing machines enable new classes of products to be produced".
Take a look also at the news release from Lati Industria Termoplastici, Reinforced polymers are stiffer than the norm,
as well as AC motors offer wide power range from AutomationDirect,
and Polymer handles tough aircraft job from Victrex USA.
