From AreaDevelopment Online: There are many factors to consider when “rebalancing your manufacturing,” reshoring some operations to the U .S. and leaving others in place to serve the growing Asian market. Several of the important factors in the original offshoring decisions have dramatically changed. Rosemary Coates, President, Blue Silk Consulting (Q1 2014) China is losing some of its
Storage- Oil impregnated bronze bearings can be stored for considerable periods without deterioration or loss of oil if kept in metal or other non-absorbent containers. Paper, cloth, and cardboard are not appropriate for storing bearings as they will wick oil out of the bushings. Plastic re-sealable bags are preferred. Store oil impregnated bronze bearings
The greatest misconception about cost management in procurement today is that price reductions equal cost savings. To help you make better informed sourcing decisions, this white paper reviews the danger of placing too much importance on unit costs and the benefits of working with a supplier who truly understands all the factors that influence the

When structures get hot, they expand. This expansion has to be accommodated within the design of the structure. Just as bridges and buildings expand and contract as a result of the changes in ambient temperature, pipelines expand and contract as the temperature of the fluid they’re transporting changes as well as the changes in the

Bronze bearings are used in a variety of nuclear applications subject to medium-to-heavy loads and slow-to-medium speeds. Often these bearings will utilize a solid lubricant based self lubricating system to provide maximum bearing life and maintenance-free operation. Bronze bearings can be designed to minimize stresses resulting from differential thermal expansion and seismic activity, and
Aluminum Bronze Alloys are important materials due to their excellent physical, mechanical, anti-corrosive, and wearing properties. Add Nickel to the alloy and you can achieve an increase in strength without diminishing it’s excellent ductility, toughness, and corrosion resistance. One such Nickel Aluminum Bronze alloy is C63000. This high strength alloy is comparable to medium carbon
