 There was a fascinating program shown on a BBC channel recently called Metal: How it works. The program description is as follows:
Professor Mark Miodownik travels to Israel to trace the history of our love affair with gleaming, lustrous metal. He learns how we first extracted glinting copper from dull rock and used it to shape our world and reveals how our eternal quest for lighter, stronger metals led us to forge hard, sharp steel from malleable iron and to create complex alloys in order to conquer the skies. He investigates metals at the atomic level to reveal mysterious properties such as why they get stronger when they are hit, and he discovers how metal crystals can be grown to survive inside one of our most extreme environments - the jet engine. To see the program you will need the BBC iplayer, and unfortunately for most of us, living in the UK. Here is the link to the show: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01fkc5n/hd/How_It_Works_Metal_How_It_Works/ |

 Tinius Olsen introduces a new line of hardness testers today. These new testers comprises over nine frames, and multiple variations on those frames, that test on most all scales, including Rockwell, Superficial Rockwell, Brinell, Vickers, Knoop, micro Vickers, macro Vickers, and Knoop; the series also includes five Universal testers. All frames feature precision loadcell based measurements rather than dead weight loading, touch screens to aid user friendliness and increase the learning curve slope, connectivity through USB and WiFi, and the ability to consolidate resultant data with other TO test machine results within the Horizon software program. |

 Tinius Olsen is proud to now offer side loading hydraulic wedge grips for use with our Super L, U Series, Electomatic, and LoCap series of testers.
These new grips feature a variety of optional wedge faces/grips and require their own hydraulic power pack for operation. Time tested and well proven in the field, these grips are a popular addition to Tinius Olsen's grip offering and are available in rated capacities of either 120kN or 300kN. To learn more about these grips, see the datasheet/specification sheet on our corporate website. |

 We recently held a webinar with ASM on the Measurement of Uncertainty in a Tensile Test. The webinar was very well attended and we had lots of interest and many questions at the end of the webinar. The webinar was recorded and is available for download from ASM, so if you were unable to attend the webinar, you can listen to it now.
