A team of energy researchers led by the University of Minnesota Twin Cities have invented a groundbreaking device that electronically converts one metal into behaving like another to use as a catalyst for speeding chemical reactions.

Spur gears, bevel gears, splined hubs, and cams are ideal components for production using powder metallurgy. Induction hardening is a method to make these parts locally hard and wear-resistant with a tougher ductile matrix.

Seco/Vacuum, Poland, will deliver a Vector high-pressure gas quench furnace (HPGQ) to a customer for its tooling and precision sealing products.

Wisconsin Oven, East Troy, announced the shipment of a natural gas fired top load oven to a leading manufacturer in the energy industry. The oven will be used for drying moisture from large electrical components.

EFD Induction India has launched a new solar power system. The first phase of this system is expected to cover 15% of the power consumption and to save 175 tonnes of CO2 emissions every year.

Solar Atmospheres of Western Pennsylvania, Hermitage, has been awarded three years merit status for SHARP Accreditation. The Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program (SHARP) is designed to recognize employees and employers for their effort in establishing and maintaining all elements of an effective safety and health program.

Superconductors are attractive for many applications such as loss-less power cables, electric motors and generators, as well as powerful electromagnets that can be used for MRI imaging and for magnetic levitating trains. Now, researchers have detailed the superconducting nature of a new class of superconducting material, magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene.

Scientists in Japan have found a common substance that can reversibly and rapidly store and release relatively large amounts of low-grade heat without decomposing. The research could lead to more efficient reuse of industrial waste heat.

Materials scientists may soon be able to control material properties with light. A team consisting of researchers at Kyoto University and Kurume Institute of Technology have discovered a scaling law that determines high-order harmonic generation in the solid-layered perovskite material.

Texas A&M University, College Station, announced in Acta Materialia that they have developed an artificial intelligence framework that enables the discovery of new shape memory alloys.

Envois, Wilmington, Del., has completed the previously announced separation of its fabrication technology business into an independent, publicly traded company, ESAB Corp.

Integer Holdings , Plano, TX, announced the acquisition of Connemara Biomedical Holdings Teoranta, including its operating subsidiaries Aran Biomedical and Proxy Biomedical (collectively “Aran” or “Aran Biomedical”).

Johnson Matthey held a groundbreaking event today to celebrate the start of construction at its plant in Gliwice, Poland. The 18-month project is to build a new line creating up to 50 new jobs.

Powder metallurgy parts can be nitrided using alkali salts, gases, and plasmas, with the majority of applications using gases. Alkali salts can be used in some applications, because trapped salts may not be detrimental if the part is constantly immersed in oil during service.

CAN-ENG Furnaces International, Niagara Falls, Ontario, has shipped a 1800 kg/hr continuous mesh belt heat treatment system for an existing customer located in the Piedmont Region of Italy.

EFD Induction, Germany, has opened their doors for a small family fleeing from the war in Ukraine. The married couple with a young son has been given one of the company’s apartments as accommodation.

Harper International, Buffalo, has announced that it has entered an equipment supply agreement with Westwater Resources Inc. to produce custom-engineered systems for thermal purification of natural graphite.
