CUSTOMER SPOTLIGHT
This month we're featuring customer Chris Rueby, who sent us this picture of his steam engine build:
He says:
"It was built from brass, bronze, and stainless steel I got from you. It is a working scale model of one of the engines from the battleship Ohio, in 1:20 scale. It was all turned/milled on a manual lathe/mill (Sherline), from the original plans obtained from the National Archives. It is a 4 cylinder compound steam engine, the model has been run so far on compressed air since I don't yet have a boiler large enough to run it. The model weighs 85 pounds."

Did You Know...? ...that researchers are getting close to figuring out why metal alloys crack in hydrogen-rich environments?
A variety of metals can become brittle and crack when placed in a hydrogen-rich environment (like water). But until now, researchers were unable to confidently predict where and when cracks would occur. Researchers at Texas A&M University conducted a series of new experiments tracking crack initiation in real time, and they unexpectedly eliminated one of the leading hypotheses for hydrogen embrittlement: that cracks would occur at points in the metal with highest plasticity. It turns out there was no relationship between the two. The next step is to determine just what does predict crack formation, if plasticity does not.
