THERMIT NEWS updated 23rd of July 2009
SkV-Elite II
Thermit Australia has just had a degradable crucible approved for use with the SkV-Elite process by ARTC, QR and RailCorp. The new crucible offers a disposable alternative to the steel bucket Single Use Crucible which will still be available for those who prefer the more robust packaging. Final supply chain issues are being resolved and we expect to have the new crucible stocked for sale in the month of August. For an overview of the new crucible please download the PDF document “SkV-Elite II” on the “Brochures” tab.
Rail Solutions Asia Conference
Thermit Australia recently attended the Rail Solutions Asia conference in Bangkok. The stand attracted a lot of interest in welding consumables and glued insulated joints.
Phil Saunders’ Retirement
After 17 years faithful service to Thermit Phil Saunders has retired to the golf courses of Brisbane. Thermit thanks Phil for his valuable contribution over the years and wishes him all the best for the future. Phil will still be an active of the Brisbane branch of the PWI. Enquiries for glued insulated joints can be directed to Chris West who takes over at Plant Manager at Clontarf.
