We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Carbon Steel",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Transmission roller chain offers longer life from
Wyko, an Eriks Company, which we summarised at the time by saying "Transmission roller chain has solid rollers, manufactured to achieve an extremely high surface hardness, and to ensure high wear resistance in hostile environments as well as
improving chain life".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Fastener antidumping could up prices considerably from
British Association of Fastener Distributors: "An antidumping investigation against a wide range of carbon steel fasteners imported from the People's Republic of China, which could result in large price increases for fasteners".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Facom UK
concerning its Protwist range of screwdrivers
- take a look at Screwdriver range covers popular types
which says: "A range of screwdrivers covers all popular patterns such as Phillips, Pozidriv, Slotted.Torx, Tamper Proof Torx and the new Torx Plus system".
Take a look also at the news release from Meltech Engineering, Electric wire strand annealing furnace cuts costs,
as well as Advanced ERP system to boost productivity from Epicor,
and EU SS and carbon steel price forecasts released from MEPS (International).
