MES Inc. was proud to deliver, this past quarter, a one of a kind impeller blade castings for axial fans. Material was carefully chosen by the customer because of excellent strength properties at elevated temperatures. Aluminum C355: Offers excellent castability, pressure tightness and resistance to hot cracking. Has optimal fluidity and solidification shrinkage tendencies. Allows for excellent welding strengths (although in the specific case of this application did not allow any welding). Polished finishes can be worthy of excellent engineered components which customers appreciate. These blades were designed and manufactured for axial fans with end application in underground and above-ground mining and power industries. Material was cast using high vacuum melting casting furnace and high tilt automatic equipment. All parts were then X-ray tested per ASTM E155 with expectation to meet Level 2 near the shank of the blade and Level 4 in other areas. Parts also went through machining […]

Supply chains world-wide have been disrupted as the Chinese Ministry of Environmental Protection (MEP), eager to meet air quality targets and reduce water and soil contamination, started to shut down thousands of factories in China. The shut downs (whether complete or temporary) are taking a toll on multiple industries; frontrunners: automotive and electronic components (finished and semi-finished metal components, plastic and rubber injection molding), chemical and textiles. Tier 1,2, and 3 suppliers are being affected equally. Analysts are also debating the introduction by the end of the year of an Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) similar to that in the European Union where companies under the carbon pollution cap will be able sell credits to those going over the cap. No matter what the form of the ETS will be, smaller companies will be at a net disadvantage. Not being able to invest in new and more efficient equipment with the […]
