XRF Analyzer Metorex Inc. Langhorne, Pa.

hletorex’s on-line analyzer mca- sures surface coatings and impregnated sheet samples. The Courier 8-SA can measure elements from silicon to ura- nium. The measuring probe is mounted in &her a fixed position or it can traverse across the production line. Be- cause of its unique design, up to six measuring probes can he multiplexed to the electronics unit to measure mul- tiple samples in various locations in the plant. Since the basis of the Courier S-SA is the X-Met 880, the analysis of surfaces can be performed in conjunc- tion with on-line liquid analysis and even lab samples using sample cup probes.

Make the right choice.

AW? For all the right reasons. N-Methylpyrrolidone s NMP IS non-ozone layer depleting. ??NMP has a low toxicity profile, high flash

point and low volatility. ??NMP’s low volatility reduces VOCs; its 100%

biodegradability and water miscibility make it easier on the environment.

??NMP IS economical: low volatility means a reduction in your total solvent volume. Its re- use through recycling is another saving.

??NMP IS ai ideal replacement for chlorinated solvents used in degreasing, paint stripping Creative Chemistry for and general cleanup. Creative Chemists

generation TiAlN coating when ma- chining titanium and nickel-based al- loys, stainless steels: and cast materi- als. Cutting speed and feed can be increased resulting in higher produc- tivity. Ion Bond TiAlN is ideal for high-speed machining, dry hobbing, and other machining operations where high temperature is generated at the point of cut. The improved TiAlN coating has been designated Ion Bond 17-11. The addition of aluminum to TiN increases hot hardness and oxida- tion resistance. Ion Bond TiAlN also has excellent ducitlity, which makes coated tools less susceptible to chip- ping when used for interrupted cutting. Ion Bond TiAlN is deposited with

Multi-Arc’s proprietary cathodic arc PVD process at temperatures as low as 400°F.

Rolled Filters Osmonics Inc. Minnefonka, Minn.

Spiraltek Dry Sump Filters from OS- monies feature a totally encapsulated filter media and resealable, air-tight port caps, which preserve fluid liquid- ity and prevent product hardening dur- ing process downtime. This reusable feature prevents premature disposal in batch operations and enables the user to take full advantage of the filter’s

high dirt-holding capabilities. Spring- loaded check valves contain fluids and eliminate spillage during change-outs and the removable plastic port caps supplied with the filter make disposal fast, clean, and safe. The glass-rein- forced polypropylene cartridge can be held in place with a fast-opening “Quick Change” bracket, reducing fil- ter change-out time to seconds. Desinged for operating pressure to 125 psi (8.6 bar) at 130°F (54”C), Spiraltek Dry Sump Filters are available with a variety of media and membranes in pore sizes ranging from 0.05-150 mi- crons and the all-polypropylene hard- ware is compatible with most solvents.

Coated Abrasive Belts Norton co. Worcester, Mass.

NorZon R840 belts utilize a heavy H-weight backing, which results in a strong and durable substrate for excep- tionally demanding foundry applica- tions where power-assist-type grinding is required. A special resin bond deliv- ers most consistent performance, while an excellent grain adhesion makes belts last longer. NorZon R840 belts also benefit from the use of NZ Alun- dum zirconia alumina, a premium self- sharpening abrasive that is effective in severe applications, particularly in alu- minum and steel foundries and in high unit pressure applications. NorZon R840 belts come in a wide variety of widths, up to 52 in. wide and are avail- able in two grit sizes: 24 and 36.
