The shop floor and assembly line can be vulnerable places for in-process metal goods. Freshly machined metal is a magnet for flash corrosion—when going in and out of air-conditioned QC areas or enduring hot, humid days in parts of the shop that are not climate controlled. Often, workers apply rust preventatives to unfinished parts for interim protection . . . only to remove oils and greases with a harsh chemical cleaner before the next stage of finishing is done. Cortec® encourages manufacturers to eliminate this waste of time and materials by getting creative with VpCI® packaging solutions. VpCI® Packaging for…

Introduction Working in the high-pressure area of industrial machining, safety measures are not just something to follow—they are the lifeline. Besides the noise of the powerful machines and the constant moving of sharp tools and heavy materials, even half a second of an eye not focused or a safety step not taken can cause serious injuries, or even death. That is why the safety issue should not only be the concern of the regulation or the moral and operational commitment but also a deep-rooted part of the culture of each unit. Machining Operations Machining operations are high-speed activities that involve…
