The availability of cheaper pig nickel iron — an innovation created in China, which uses laterite nickel ores instead of pure nickel — helps mitigate nickel price increases by serving as an alternative to standard nickel as an input in stainless steel production.

Storage bins: If you have open-floor or shelf space, get bins that latch, stack well, and are clear, so you can see what’s inside. Buy a couple different sizes to help you separate small items from larger ones. We’re partial to these bins from Sterilite.

The downside to a ball end is less surface area with the bolt, which means they are more likely to strip under high torque. Ball drivers are great for nipping things and spinning things off, but use the square end of the wrench for initial loosening or final tightening.

I had to make milk. Right now the baby was on IV fluids, but soon he was going to need calories. First, I had to squeeze the colostrum out with my hands. I squeezed and squeezed. As the thick yellow drops came out – more like phlegm than milk – I had to catch them on the tip of a syringe. For days I failed to make enough, so they put him on formula, which he didn’t tolerate. They weighed him every Wednesday and Sunday: a verdict. Night after night, I kneeled on the side of my hospital bed and manhandled myself, pleading with my body to cooperate.

In particular, China FeCr (or Ferro Chrome) lumps increased in price by 6.2%, bucking the trend among the other Chinese prices in the basket, which otherwise declined.

A micrograph of Micro Vickers indentations of a common NHT measurement is shown in Figure 21. The indents were effected with 300 g loads. Two rows were chosen to ensure that all indents are placed with respect to the indent distances in accordance to the ISO 6507-1. Increasing indent sizes correlate to the decrease in hardness.

Ceiling hooks: Hooks work great for hanging bicycles indoors, and they’re fairly cheap. Install one for just the front tire, or use two and hang both front and back tires at once.

As cutting automation drives increased production, further automation is necessary. “Downstream processing is the next frontier, including edge cleaning and forming,” stated White from MC Machinery Systems. Key to the success is the development of software that can pull modules from different manufacturers together through a unified program.”

The challenge in drilling fracking blocks goes beyond the size of the required holes. “Interrupted cuts are inherent to fluid end block manufacturing since the cross-holes are drilled perpendicular to existing holes,” said Allied Machine’s Best. “Because of the resulting shape of the intersecting holes, the outside edges of the drill will continue to be engaged in the cut, while the inside edge will not. This can destabilize the drill, which can destroy the tool and damage the integrity of the fracking block.”
