Sciaky, Inc. to Deliver State-of-the-Art Electron Beam Welding Machine to MERRILL
The MI-based systems integrator and solutions manufacturer will utilize Sciaky's EB welding technology to fabricate critical parts and prototypes for multiple industry applications
Sciaky, Inc., a subsidiary of Phillips Service Industries, Inc. (PSI) and leading suppliers of electron beam (EB) welding solutions and metal additive manufacturing (AM) solutions, announced today that it will deliver a state-of-the-art electron beam (EB) welding machine to Michigan-based systems integrator and solutions manufacturer MERRILL.
MERRILL's end-to-end offerings include solutions for design, build, test and deliver stages, along with the in-house expertise to design and manufacture intricate parts and prototypes through high-volume production. They provide solutions for a wide range of industries, including aerospace, defense, chemical, energy, oil & gas, transportation, and mining.
Sciaky's EB welding systems have been the gold standard of EB welding technology for decades. Sciaky's internal moving EB welding gun is the most versatile EB welding gun in the market and its multi-axis gun motion operates at half the chamber volume of fixed/external gun systems, providing beam access for unusual joint configurations, and significantly simplifies part tooling.
"Sciaky is excited to provide our world-class EB welding technology to a forward-thinking solutions provider like MERRILL," said Scott Phillips, President and CEO of Sciaky, Inc. "The results-driven pros at MERRILL will no doubt take advantage of Sciaky's exceptional EB weld strength and its high-precision repeatability to deliver incredible results, over and over again."
Sciaky's welding equipment meets rigid military specifications to manufacture items such as airframes, landing gear, jet engines, guided missiles and vehicle parts. For more information on Sciaky, visit www.sciaky.com. You can also follow Sciaky on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and YouTube.

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs
Our retention knobs are manufactured above international standards or to machine builder specifications. Retention knobs are manufactured utilizing AMS-6274/AISI-8620 alloy steel drawn in the United States. Threads are single-pointed on our lathes while manufacturing all other retention knob features to ensure high concentricity. Our process ensures that our threads are balanced (lead in/lead out at 180 degrees.) Each retention knob is carburized (hardened) to 58-62HRC, and case depth is .020-.030. Core hardness 40HRC. Each retention knob is coated utilizing a hot black oxide coating to military specifications. Our retention knobs are 100% covered in black oxide to prevent rust. All retention knob surfaces (not just mating surfaces) have a precision finish of 32 RMA micro or better: ISO grade 6N. Each retention knob is magnetic particle tested and tested at 2.5 times the pulling force of the drawbar. Certifications are maintained for each step in the manufacturing process for traceability.
