There is a lot happening in Rhode Island to help spread the word to high school students about MFG Day and the great careers available in our advanced manufacturing precision machining shops.
We’ll be following up with more from Rhode Island in our next post!
Compressive Stress is important in the forging, stamping, coining, and cold heading industries as compression stress is used to change the shape of the product, unlike machining, where the shape is made by subtracting material by some means of stock removal. When steel’s compressive strength is exceeded, the steel will fail in a brittle fashion, and it will shear, usually at a 30 to 45 degree angle.
Adequate stock removal in machining, Eddy current testing, and adjusting order to reflect cold work application are important steps to maximize good part yield and minimize cracking due to post machining cold work.
Ohio leads the nation in Copper Thefts, which are up nationwide almost 81% compared to 2006-2008.
423,000 jobs, $24.6 billion in annual payroll, $136 billion worth of products sold.
Just three facts that make a Medical technology focus important for your precision machining business.
Here are 5 tips to help keep your OSHA 300 up to requirements:
Record ALL hours worked by ALL employees covered by the records – Hourly , Salary, Part Time, and Temporary.
If necessary, estimate the average number workers by 2000 to obtain hours worked.
Verify hours by confirming against what amount was paid to unemployment insurance.
If the hours you report are too low (underestimated) the incidence rate will be too high.
If the hours you report are too high (overestimated) the incidence rate will be too low.
The PMPA Members Listserves provide prompt and reliable answers to members pressing questions by providing distributed problemsolving. Here is a sample regarding factors that can affect the rusting of precision machined parts.
