Hydrogen Embrittlement is the process by which high-strength steels become brittle and fracture following exposure to hydrogen.  It is generally the result of unintentional introduction of hydrogen into susceptible metals during processing. The Effects of Hydrogen Embrittlement The Science Hydrogen Embrittlement normally affects thin sections of high strength steel, such

Cleaning industrial chains is important because when materials handling equipment such as forklifts or telehandlers are operating in especially arduous or aggressive environments, any leaf chain and its component parts can be subject to a significant amount of contamination from sand, grit, or harsh industrial atmospheres. So what is the

Leaf Chain Inspection When conducting a leaf chain inspection of any form of safety-critical industrial equipment, there can often be an over-reliance on the measuring of chain elongation. While chain elongation is a significant factor, it should also be considered in the context of a wide range of other chain wear signs and
