We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Surface Treatment",
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 Automated shot blasting saves costs, ups safety from
Rosler UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "Automated shot blasting systems for high value castings increase process safety and lower foundry costs by lowering manual labour involvement in fettling and surface finishing, says Rosler
UK".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Edge sintered inserts cut Al machining costs from
WNT (UK): "Inserts use the latest in sintering technology to improve metal cutting performance and reduce costs in applications involving aluminium and other light alloys".
In July 2007, we covered the news from Midest - Reed Expositions France
- take a look at MIDEST to host 700 foreign subcontractors
which says: "Almost 700 foreign subcontractors will take stand space at the French MIDEST subcontracting exhibition, including increasing numbers from North Africa as well as Eastern Europe".
Take a look also at the news release from ABAS Software AG, Abas at Paris air show,
as well as Sanchem coating system deal for Europe from Houghton Plc,
and General-purpose water treatment dosing pump from ProMinent Fluid Controls (UK).
