TPT January 2018

The January Issue Welcome to the latest issue of Tube & Pipe Technology magazine. In this issue we have an extended article from Willy Goellner of Advanced Machine

January/February 2018 Vol 31 No 1

Rory McBride – Editor

& Engineering/AMSAW and Christian Mayrhofer, examining how to maximise the blade life of a carbide saw, as well and an in-depth insight into overlay welding of tubes from Jürgen Krüger of Alfalang. The forthcoming March Düsseldorf show issue of Tube & Pipe Technology magazine will have features on tube extrusion and drawing, software and control systems, and handling and logistics, as well as a feature examining some of the exciting technology on offer at Tube Düsseldorf. I was speaking to event organisers Messe Düsseldorf recently and they said the demand, particularly on the tube side, had been massive again this year, so once again it promises to be a spectacular event. TPT will be a big part of this huge trade show as always, so make sure you promote your company and stand within the pages of our magazine by sending me editorial or booking a position for your advert. The editorial deadline for the March issue is 8 January and if you would like to advertise in this special show issue the deadline is 8 February. From all the team at TPT magazine I would like to wish you a healthy and prosperous New Year.
