GM claims 'breakthrough' will make vehicles lighter, help gas mileage
Detroit Free Press
Share
   
General Motors plans to accelerate the replacement of steel with aluminum after researchers achieved what the company described as a "breakthrough" in welding technology. GM hopes the technological advancement will boost fuel economy by making its vehicles lighter. Aluminum is lighter than steel, making it an enticing alternative when it is not too expensive. But several hurdles remain for aluminum, including production challenges. GM believes it has solved one of those challenges: the frustrating process of welding aluminum body panels.

Welding program to do free metal work on North Idaho College campus
The Sentinel
Share
The Welding Program at North Idaho College offered its services for free to create and form any metal work the NIC community may need. The projects are built by NIC students in the welding program so that they can get a sense of what it is like in the real world to meet quality controls, issues and time constraints. "It's very beneficial for students," said John Campbell, one of the students who worked on one of last year's welding projects. The numbers of submissions that will be accepted are limited.

America's booming natural gas production has drawn countless manufacturers back to the United States, experts said at Shale Gas Insight 2012. Low natural gas prices have lingered due to the glut of the commodity, making the country an attractive market for manufacturers once again. "Anyone that uses a lot of electricity, and anyone that uses natural gas as a feedstock, will want to be back in the United States of America," said Barry Smitherman, chairman of the Texas Railroad Commission.
