In many ways, ERIKS' approach to electric motors echoes the basic tenets of the circular economy, but the company views it as a reliability journey.

Willian Santos from ABI Electronics, who's been championing the importance and value of carrying out electronics repairs for the last 20 years, busts eleven common myths surrounding electronic repairs in industry.

Industry has moved to adopting 18/18 as its standard steel for rotor retaining rings in generators. These high-quality steels are fully stainless to prevent stress corrosion cracking but are not fully corrosion resistant, and Quartzelec has found incidents where corrosion has proven to cause critical damage. Quartzelec’s Wojciech Betlej, Tony Croucher and Stephen Densley discuss how smart engineering studies and considered decisions could salvage retaining rings that would otherwise be scrapped.
