Thanks to the open-pore construction, a particularly fine and decorative surface finish can be achieved in a flash on all metals, as well as on hard plastics and wood. Fine weld seams and points or deep scratches, depending on the contact pressure, can also be removed directly. Thanks to the particularly "fine" finish, a perfect mirror finish can be created immediately with polishing discs, e.g. with the BRIGHTEX® polishing system. This saves many time-consuming intermediate grinding and polishing steps. Even thick layers of paint with filler on body parts are removed down to the bare metal. The metal underneath has a top finish and can be repainted immediately. Rust and oxide layers are also no obstacles for the perfect final finish thanks to MAGNUM® DecoFinish. This new type of compact fleece is universal and versatile. It is extremely tough and durable, does not smear and also has resilient, cooling properties for perfect workpiece adaptation and smooth grinding transitions.

Priced at entry level, the MaxX multidirectional forklift comes in the most popular effective widths and lift heights and is particularly useful for handling long goods in the 3,000 kg, 4,500 kg, 5,000 kg and 6,000 kg load capacity classes along narrow warehouse aisles and when loading and unloading trucks outdoors. It is the ideal alternative to diesel vehicles. The MaxX combines innovation with value for money. This multidirectional forklift provides an incredibly clear view of the load from the cab thanks to its state-of-the-art design and free-view lift mast. The optional 360° HX multidirectional steering enables users to change direction quickly and reduces wheel wear. The forklift is available in several versions with different-sized batteries, enabling it to be tailored precisely to tasks with either medium or long operating times.

he MELT MASTER collection has been designed to meet the extreme risks of molten metal splashes, and is the culmination of a long research and development project carried out jointly by the DMD France and EDC Protection teams. This multi-risk garment combines EDC Protection's long experience in thermal hazards with DMD France's long-standing expertise in the design of professional clothing. Research, business analysis, materials sourcing, sketches, samples: at every stage of the process, our design team's main objective was to combine quality, robustness and comfort, all with an innovative look. Meeting the EN ISO 11612 D3E3 standard, the MELT MASTER range has all the attributes needed to become the benchmark in the thermal trades sector. A major innovation, this range is approved to EN 17353 B2 (protection against the risk of non-visibility in the dark), ensuring maximum protection in low-visibility industrial environments. It is also suitable for ATEX zones.

The MERLIN 4 is a versatile mid-range CMOS spectrometer, available as a dedicated single-base unit or a flexible multi-base system. Designed for use in metal production, inspection and contract laboratories, marine industries, and especially the metal processing sector, it offers adaptability across a wide range of applications. Two models are available: the MERLIN 4 Ultra, with a spectral range of 175–521 nm, and the MERLIN 4 Visible, covering 205–521 nm. Both models offer extensive element coverage for most calibration needs. Quality Control and Assurance are critical to operational success. The MERLIN 4 is the ideal solution for incoming material verification, in-process testing, and final quality inspections.

Our Additive Manufacturing technologies hold the potential to displace existing technologies with reduced material waste and increased part complexity. Melt Spinning casts a thin ribbon of rapidly quenched amorphous material in 100g batches, suitable for Al, Fe, Ni, and Cu alloys. HIP compresses a volume of metal powder at high temperature and pressure, causing deformation, creep, and diffusion to create a homogenous annealed microstructure (compact solid) with minimal or no impurities. Meanwhile our research CIP is used to form powders into a green body, prior to sintering, through the pressing of various shapes, including discs, bars, and tubes. Field Assisted Sintering Technology/Spark Plasma Sintering (FAST/SPS) uses electrical currents to heat a mould and/or sample. This method allows high heating rates and low processing cycle times. FAST/SPS offers new possibilities to manufacture numerous materials with potentially extraordinary characteristics. The Fenn Hot Rolling Mill has been designed specifically for the University of Sheffield to roll steels, titanium alloys, and nickel-based alloys from a maximum starting thickness of 80mm to a finished thickness of 3mm. The Conform extruder can take former wastes, such as powder from near-net-shape production or swarf from machined components, and produce useful wire. These processes offer new, unique pathways in the processing of novel alloys, or valorisation of waste streams for new recycling and sustainability models in metal manufacturing.
