Launch of MagiZinc ® : the next step in metallic coating

Fully automatic hitch feed saw

Scotchman ® Industries, USA, has developed the CPO 315 hitch feed automatic cold saw designed to achieve the highest quality of cuts. The saw is a fully automatic circular cold saw that provides uninterrupted cutting on tubing or solids. This machine is ideal for high volume and short length applications that require very

accurate and clean cuts. The CPO 315 HFA has a length tolerance of ±0.004 on up to 3½ " diameter tube or pipe and up to 2 " solid material. This machine uses a 12½ " blade and has the ability to cut pieces as short as ⅛" and as long as 90". The hitch feed saw uses a 30 " index that can be operated at a maximum of 3 times. Optional form jaws can be used to feed multiple pieces of smaller diameter material for hourly piece counts in the hundreds. the ability to marry the feeds and speeds to the job for faster cutting times and longer blade life. The CPO 315 HFA saws are available in ferrous and non- ferrous models.

International steel producer Corus is set to launch a new hot-dip zinc-based metallic coating with superior corrosion properties. In tests where corrosion behaviour has been accelerated, corrosion resistance showed to be at least four times as effective for the same coating thickness as products galvanized with zinc alone. Branded MagiZinc ® , the new coating provides significant savings in total costs for all applications that currently use thin hot- dip galvanised steel with a zinc coating of 275g/m 2 . The great improvements in corrosion performance made possible with MagiZinc can be used in for example the construction industry. Applications are, amongst others, channels for ventilation systems and cable trays in large commercial and residential buildings. MagiZinc can also be applied in the automotive sector. The new product MagiZinc consists predominantly of zinc, with additions of
