Chrome Core[R] alloys include Chrome Core 8 and 8-FM alloys, containing 8 percent chromium and Chrome Core 12 and 12-FM alloys, containing 12 percent chromium. The FM version of each alloy has enhanced machinability to facilitate component fabrication. The sulfur addition to improve machinability has minimal effect on the alloys' magnetic properties. Both of these alloys can be considered for use in magnetic components where corrosion resistance is superior to that of pure iron, low carbon steel and silicon-iron alloys' magnet properties.

MSC ENGINEERED MATERIALS AND SOLUTIONS GROUP

Application of a chrome-free precoated steel material in the latest series of HP ink jet cartridges assists customers in their compliance with the new environmental safety mandates for chrome-free materials. The company operates its continuous coil-coating lines to apply this specially formulated proprietary finish onto cold-rolled steel, which is subsequently formed into the ink-jet housing by an HP

subcontractor. Enter 191

Blockade[TM] silicon brazing alloy is formulated to braze copper and brass alloys. Unlike other alloys, the Blockaded alloys forms a leak-proof and "viewable" seal due to the addition of the silicon, which causes the braze alloy to change color (silver-gray). It brazes brass without the use of silver, and its low brazing temperature (228 degrees F), results in more through-put, less gas consumption and less copper annealing.
