Multi Alloys extends portfolio with new welding consumables offering



South African leading supplier of nickel alloys, duplex and high alloy stainless steel as well as titanium, Multi Alloys, has strategically extended its portfolio and enters the welding consumables market with a new range of products.
 
Through a partnership secured with The Lincoln Electric Company in late 2015, the Midrand-based company is now focussed on stocking a range of consumables that are compatible with its core products ­­­­­­­namely the duplex and super duplex, and 904L grades of stainless steel as well as selected items in the company’s nickel alloy range.

Multi Alloys owner Ken Perel emphasises that the decision to offer a more comprehensive range of core products stems from the need of customers for welding consumables that would support the company’s products. “On occasions our customers have expressed frustration at not being able to locate the welding consumable for the job once they had purchased a duplex or super duplex plate pipe or bar. We have heeded their requests so this represents a logical development which came at the right time as it is now also possible for us to easily house the new stock our new and larger warehouse.”

Perel explains that this development represents an incremental investment: “Multi Alloys will build on the initial range which comprises coated electrodes and TIG wire. Thus while we are focussing on a very narrow range of grades which does not include the consumables or the commodity grades of stainless steel, we believe that with the Metrode range of consumables available off-the-shelf, we will be able to assist customers in their efforts to fabricate ‘specials’ locally.”


 
Criteria that were considered in selecting the right supply chain partner included the ability to offer a wide range of items to support the ‘multi alloy’ products as well as a quality offering that is competitive in this sector. The manufacturing divisions of The Lincoln Electric Company and Metrode are ISO accredited. Furthermore, the company has an impressive training facility in Midrand and offers extensive technical expertise in welding. Technical specialists from The Lincoln Electric Company are available as back-up support for Multi Alloys. “Adding value has always been the Multi Alloys mantra and we believe that this partnership will offer a significant benefit to both Multi Alloys as well as to our valued customers,” concludes Perel.

Multi Alloys was first ISO 9001: 2008 accredited in December 2009 and achieved re-accreditation in 2015. Perel attributes the company’s 19 years of experience in supplying quality products to a niche market, coupled with the doubling of warehouse space with the recent occupation of a 2500 m2 premises in Midrand with sister company stainless steel provider, Energy Engineered Products, as key factors for the company’s success.

The sky’s the limit with thermal spray coatings from Thermaspray

Image
HVOF (High Velocity Oxy Fuel) thermal spray coatings available from Thermaspray, are used to protect the external high strength low alloy steel surfaces of aircraft landing gear components against corrosion and wear. During landing and taxiing, an aircraft’s landing gear is subjected to a great deal of stress, side-loading and sliding wear. Any coatings applied to protect these large hydraulic units from wear resistance and corrosion must be of first-class standards to be able to withstand these stresses. Until recently, electrolytically deposited chrome plating was the standard surface treatment for landing gear components which are critical safety components on an aircafrt. According to Metallurgical Engineer at Thermaspray, Shaik Hoosain, hard chromium coatings have been the gold standard to impart resistance to component wear, impact and corrosion in aviation, transportation, industrial and consumer products for more than 70 years. “While chrome has proven to be a relatively c

SKF Agri Hubs for slurry fertiliser discs boost farm productivity & profitability!

Image
The new SKF Agri Hub for fertiliser injector discs has been specially engineered to boost farm productivity and profitability through increased performance and improved machine up-time while minimising the impact on the environment. Under mounting pressure to increase yields while keeping input costs to a minimum, farmers look to OEMs for equipment that delivers ever-greater reliability, efficiency and performance. “This can be a challenge particularly for slurry fertiliser discs which operate under extremely harsh, corrosive conditions,” states SKF Key Accounts Manager – Agriculture, Charl Engelbrecht. He explains that typically these machines incorporate conventional metallic hub assemblies to mount the cutting disc on to the slurry fertiliser injector machine. ”However, the low corrosion resistance and poor sealing performance of these conventional units often result in poor reliability and premature failure. The seasonal replacement of these units is an expensive exercise for
