CUSTOMER SPOTLIGHT
CUSTOMER SPOTLIGHT... This month we're featuring Jeff Hooper of Hooper Machine & Design. He sent us these pictures of a 1927 Nash radiator cap he made for a customer:
He says:"This is a 1927 Nash Radiator cap a customer requested. I actually procrastinated this project because of the 3D modeling of the scales. (On a sphere : ) Then programming it. Our customer was very happy with the end result and we were excited that we pulled it off. Thanks for letting me be a part of it!"
You can also check out a video of how Jeff made the cap:

TESTIMONIALS
WHAT YOU'RE SAYING... "Just wanted to let you know that I just got my latest order and say thank you! I am a hobby-type machinist so my orders are relatively small, but I feel like I am treated like some major corporate account! Your selection and pricing is fantastic, but your shipping is unbelievably fast. Thank you again and keep up the great work."

DID YOU KNOW?
DID YOU KNOW...? ...that researchers have discovered a new mechanism for bending metal?
Normally, increasing a metal's strength (for example through cold working or annealing) reduces its ductility, making it more prone to fracturing when bending. This is because a metal's ability to bend depends on irregularities in the crystalline structure, and increasing a metal's strength reduces the ability of these irregularities to move, thus reducing flexibility. Now, however, Izabela Szlufarska, a professor of materials science and engineering at UW–Madison, has made an important discovery: "[B]ending samarium cobalt caused narrow bands to form inside the crystal lattice, where molecules assumed a free-form “amorphous” configuration instead of the regular, grid-like structure in the rest of the metal.
Those amorphous bands allowed the metal to bend.
'It’s almost like lubrication,' says Szlufarska. 'We predicted this in simulations, and we also saw the amorphous shear bands in our deformation studies and transmission electron microscopy experiments.'"
