Revision F of the AMS (Aerospace Material Specifications) 2750 introduces many new features, in particular there are limitations on the alternate SAT and some conditions in which it is necessary to replace it with the comparative SAT.

What is the comparative SAT?
What are the operational procedures of the comparative SAT?
Is it possible to effectively measure the maintenance of the qualification performance of our plant and consequently the operational continuity?

AMS 2750 (Aerospace Material Specifications) is an aerospace international specification which covers the pyrometric requirements for plants used for the heat treatment of metallic materials. Specifically, it covers temperature sensors, instrumentation, plant equipment, correction factors and offsets of instruments, system accuracy testing and temperature uniformity testing. These are necessary to ensure heat treatment of parts or raw materials in accordance with applicable specifications.

The AMS 2750 is now in revision F, was revision E from July 2012.

Let's see what’s new.

Additive manufacturing is a manufacturing technology that is gaining more and more ground among metallurgists. The process involves all the techniques used to create 3D metal objects from a digital design.

The notable increase in the world of metal additive manufacturing of the use of methods such as the Metal Injection Molding (MIM), the Binder Jetting (BJ) and the Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), prompted TAV VACUUM FURNACES to design and install a vacuum furnace for thermal debinding in its Research and Development laboratory, in order to experiment the best solutions for this delicate post-production phase.

Let's find out what debinding is, how it is obtained and above all which are the most suitable tools to create high quality components without risking contamination.

Held between 29-31 January 2020 in Berlin, Germany, the World Money Fair gathered together thousands of coin collecting enthusiasts, metal working businesses, and we were there.

Much more than just a jamboree for hobbyists, the WMF is a major trade event, where deals are done and ideas are shared.
As part of the packed program of guest speakers, we had the chance to explain how vacuum heat treatment works, and how it applies to coin production. And we really made an impression.

In this article, we'll look at the WMF itself, and offer some insights from the TAV VACUUM FURNACES team that should be relevant for anyone in the minting industry.
