Hiduron® 130 is a high-strength cupronickel supplied in the hot worked condition. Aluminium is the alloys key strengthening element through the formation of finely dispersed ϒ’ nickel aluminium precipitate, strengthening the alloy in a similar way to Alloy K500. As these precipitates are formed through a carefully controlled forging process, naturally aged during cooling, no further heat treatment is necessary, making it one of the highest strength copper alloys commercially available. Being a cupronickel, Hiduron® 130 has excellent resistance to corrosion by seawater, marine and industrial atmospheres as well as being highly resistant to crevice corrosion. It has a very low magnetic permeability, it is virtually non-magnetic, and it has a higher modulus of elasticity than is normally associated with copper alloys. All these properties are achieved without heat treatment and are combined with good machinability and the ability to take an excellent finish. The major use of Hiduron® 130 is in subsea hydraulic and electrical connectors such as flying lead connectors for stab plates. It is also used in naval winches, seawater valves and marine engineering generally. Additionally, it is applied in the aerospace industry for heavily stressed airframe components. Other applications include a variety of mechanical engineering and hydraulics systems amongst which are valve seat inserts and thrust washers for high performance internal combustion engines. It is covered by the specifications DIN 2.1504 and DTD 900/4805 to which it can be supplied when required. Langley Alloys stocks Hiduron® 130 as round bars from ½”-8” (12.7-203.2mm) diameter, and it can be supplied as bespoke forgings and blocks.

In order to choose the right heat protection glove for the thermal risks involved, it is useful and important to ask yourself three questions:What is the contact temperature? Knowing the temperature of the parts makes it possible to select the glove's material: leather, aramids, fibreglass, chain mail.What is the contact time? The insulation capacity is primarily dependent on the inside lining. EDC Protection offers several materials and lining thicknesses for its thermal protection gloves. Thickness is important for insulation but, the thicker it is, the less space there is for the fingers. Therefore, mittens are more often used for thermal protection.Does the back-of-the-hand have to be protected? During welding operations or when skimming molten material, it is the top of the glove that has to provide the protection from the radiant heat or hot splashes.Don’t hesitate to contact us to determine the most appropriate protection based on these factors.

Built for efficiency, these machines represent peak German engineering and are tailored to handle the intricacies of wrapping both regular and awkwardly sized pallets. They provide the most effective solution to wrap low load-height pallets, which wouldn’t wrap on a turntable wrapping machine. With features that prioritise operational simplicity and safety, such as adjustable height settings and automatic film cutters, these models ensure that your products are securely packaged with minimal effort. Whether for small pallets, trays, or unique item dimensions, our horizontal pallet wrappers provide a versatile and reliable solution to enhance your packaging operations.

Hot dip galvanizing has, for many decades, been widely recognised – as well as proven – to be the most effective and reliable way to protect steel from corrosion, providing robust steel corrosion protection in a variety of industries and outdoor environments. Steel galvanized through this method is shielded by a durable zinc coating that extends it’s lifespan significantly.

The steel industry accounts for 7-9% of the global CO2 emissions. Therefore, small improvements already have a huge impact for our environment. As a family-owned company, Van Leeuwen takes its responsibility for the environment and society to contribute to a sustainable future of our company and the world. This is integrated in our strategy. As market leader, we take the lead in setting the standard for more sustainable steel products to help our customers reduce their CO2 footprint. To achieve this, we work together with innovative steel mills who have the same mission, in order to improve the sustainability of production processes and end products together. This results in building a stock of CO2 reduced pipe and tube material, which we sell under our own sustainability brand Van Leeuwen Impact.

Customer safety and satisfaction is important to ABUS, and putting the customer first has been the bedrock of 25 years of experience in the UK of installing, testing and commissioning crane systems.
