JEANNE WAGNER PRESENTS AT THE SFSA 2017 CONFERENCE

Jeanne Wagner presents at the SFSA 2017 Conference

We are excited to announce that our very own Jeanne Wagner will be attending and presenting at the Steel Founder’s Society of America (SFSA) Technical and Operating (T&O) Conference in Chicago later this week (December 6^th-9^th).

SFSA T&O conference brings together foundries all over North America for presentations from metallurgical and foundry engineering to safety and HR.

“Wednesday December 6^th they will start with a workshop, usually with some “hands-on aspects” followed by two and a half days of presenters”, says Wagner talking about the T&O Conference. At this premiere steel casting meeting, Wagner will be presenting Friday and Saturday December 8^thand 9^th discussing the differences between different types of analytical spectrometers and a comparison between water quenching and gas quenching in a vacuum furnace.

Wagner has attended this conference since 2003 and she admits that she enjoys presenting at the SFSA T&O. Wagner has been Stainless Foundry & Engineering’s Technical Director for the past 8 years and has the experience and knowledge to present in front of the 50 other foundries that attend. Some of the same general topics are covered year to year, however there are always new topics and new presenters that enable you to learn and pick up on different technology and trade happenings. “It’s also a great place to network and get advice on a specific topic in your foundry”, Wagner admits.

Jeanne Wagner’s papers from the last five years will be available on our website for download post T&O Conference presentation.

Non-Galling ILLIUM 8 Alloy Is the Right Recipe for Food Processing Equipment

Nickel-based ILLIUM 8 alloy has qualities that are ideal for food, dairy, and pharmaceutical processing equipment, as well as petrochemical equipment. We have been pouring ILLIUM alloys for decades, continuously working to improve our processes with every pour. Learn more about ILLIUM 8, and how its non-galling and corrosion-resistant qualities make it a critical component to the success of some of our most vital industries.

Clyde Union® Pumps Keep The Oil Flowing On Offshore Drilling Platform

One of the most rugged workplaces in the world is located nearly 200 miles off the Newfoundland coast on the Hibernia oil production platform. To ensure the oil keeps flowing, Stainless Foundry and Engineering recently worked with the pump manufacturer Clyde Union Canada Ltd., to upgrade the platform’s three centrifugal pumps.

Supporting the Global Defense Supply Chain

All major weapons systems contain a metal casting. Stainless Foundry & Engineering works with different alloys and techniques to produce castings that are better equipped to support the defense industry needs, anywhere from submarines to advanced weapons systems.

High Spec Castings – What You Need to Know about Testing

Parts produced for the nuclear, petrochemical, power generation, military, and defense industries require a high level of specification. Thorough testing is imperative to ensure these critical castings not only meet customer and industry standards, but they have the structural integrity to perform throughout their expected service life. Here’s how we do it.

Anatomy of a Pour: Investment Casting Photo Story

When Stainless Foundry & Engineering (SF&E) opened its doors in 1946, we specialized in sand casting, primarily producing impellers for pumps. SF&E added investment casting to its service offering in 1968 in response to the increasing demand for precision parts. We’ve documented our investment casting process in a series of photos as a way to pay homage to this practice, which dates back to 3,000 B.C.
