While working at the jobsite, it’s often difficult to know what lies beneath the surface of a floor, ceiling or wall. This increases the risk of cutting through a live electrical conduit or tension cable, leading to safety hazards and costly structural damage. There's a way to be sure what lies behind the structure. With Hilti cordless concrete scanners, you can find what’s there without the need to physically remove concrete or other base material. Ready to work with better safety and productivity?

The heat treatment method of high-speed steel hot rolling rolls generally adopts quenching and tempering. When heated to high temperature, the secondary carbides in the steel are fully dissolved and the primary eutectic carbides are partially dissolved. The carbon and alloying elements contained in these carbides dissolve into austenite, increasing the content of carbon and alloying elements in austenite. During quenching, they are solidly dissolved in bainite and martensite, and during tempering, dispersed carbides precipitate, making the steel exhibit a secondary hardness higher than that during quenching. Therefore, in order to increase the hardness of the matrix, the quenching temperature should be increased. At the same time, in order to prevent the appearance of massive and coarse carbides in the matrix, the quenching temperature should be reduced as much as possible. https://lnkd.in/gva-xGZV #millroll #heattreatment #rollmaterial #workroll #backuproll #hotrolling #coldrolling

The construction skills shortage is impacting companies from the UK to the US to Australia. If you're using tube and fitting (tube and clamp or tube and coupler) scaffolding, you're probably feeling the labor shortage keenly. Explore our blog post to learn how switching to system scaffolding can save you money on scaffolding projects. https://lnkd.in/gAbbCt3U #scaffolding #constructionindustry

The surface of cold-rolled work rolls should be free of defects, and the smoothness should meet the requirements. The surface is hard, the center is soft and soft, and it has a long service life. The hardness of the backup roll should be lower than that of the work rolls. Avoid grinding the work roll surface. The support rollers are generally replaced and reground every six months. Due to the large contact stress and frequent alternating stress during rolling, the back-up roll fatigues after a period of use. The surface peels off, and when the peeling off is not large, some can continue to be used after cleaning. https://lnkd.in/gDvMWqZK #steelmill #rollingmill #steelindustry #rollingmillrolls #steel #steelwork #steeltechology
