To gather feedback on the type of work that NOMMA members are working on, the Code Advocacy Committee has developed a quick survey. Our Code Advocacy Membership Survey wants to find out the type of projects our members are working on (such as elevator enclosure, sky bridges etc.) This survey will only take a couple of minutes but will be very helpful in our advocacy efforts.

“Why I Give” is a campaign asking NOMMA Education Foundation (NEF) donors to share why they support the organization. Today, Patrick Hutchinson of KLIK USA shares his why. “There is a perception that ornamental metals is a dying trade. I disagree with that. There is a tremendous talent pool, and the word just hasn’t reached all of them. NEF is in a position to help NOMMA do that. There is great dignity in being in the trades. Personal experience has shown that college isn’t for everyone, classroom training isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. I want all to see that being in the trades is a valid and needed career option. I want to see vibrancy in metal fabrication, and I feel that giving to NEF will make that happen.” Visit https://www.naylornetwork.com/nom-nwl/articles/index.asp?aid=764664&issueID=94458 to view the full article online. |

Worldsteel.org As the SpaceX program plans for an attempt to reach the fourth planet from the sun (Mars), it is relying on a unique metal for part of the design of its Starship spacecraft and Super Heavy rocket (collectively referred to as Starship): 300-series stainless steel. In addition to being lower cost than carbon fibres, one main advantage to using stainless steel for space travel, Worldsteel observes, is its high melting point. With the right heat dissipation protocols in place, steels can capably perform at temperatures as high as 820-870°C. Although its ultimate goals for the program are still down the road and certainly ambitious, SpaceX has shared some interesting tests of Starship on its website: spacex.com/vehicles/starship.
