Xanthos Named Sales

Manager For Renk's

Bearings Division

Werner Funke, president of

Renk Corporation, has announced the appointment of Tony Xan- thos as sales manager, bearings division.

Mr. Xanthos will be responsible for the sales and marketing of the bearings throughout the U.S. Prior to joining Renk, he was a regional sales manager for Applied Engi- neering Company in South Caro- lina. He also spent five years in

Brazil as a sales and marketing manager for Ingersoll-Rand Indus- tria E Commercio. He brings to

Renk more than nine years of ex- perience with international and domestic companies.

Mr. Xanthos holds a BA degree in mathematics from Queens Col- lege, and bachelor and master of science degrees from Columbia

University.

Renk Corporation, the Ameri- can member of the multi-national conglomerate, the GHH Group, supplies bearings, gears, and transmissions for the major capi- tal goods industries. The South

Carolina Renk plant was estab- lished recently to meet the in- creasing demand for Renk prod- ucts and services in the U.S. market. ular interest to the group was Mr.

Hare's work in the marine envi- ronment; bi- and trimetallic joints utilized in deckhouse to hull inter- faces, steel aircraft tiedowns in aluminum flight decks, seamless aluminum/steel tubing made from flat plate, and 90/10 CuNi bonded to steel for protection from marine corrosion. An exciting, recent dis- covery made by Mr. Hare's com- pany was the use of piano wire bonded to aluminum in the appli- cation of aircraft engine shielding and tank armor.

Mr. Hare concluded his pro- gram by showing the group the strongest metal alloy in the world, a powder compaction alloy of tung- sten-hafnium-carbide. A ques- tion and answer period followed where the actual process of explo- sive bonding was described and production problems discussed.

Further comments at the meet- ing were presented by Section chairman Stan Stumbo.

Puget Sound Section of ASNE, the answer became evident that it's to

A1 Hare and his associates at

Northwest Technical Industries of

Sequim, Wash. Mr. Hare gave a presentation on Explosive Bond- ing before section members.

Mr. Hare started his program by challenging the group to think of what you could do with a pro- cess utilizing 3000°C and 10 mil- lion psi. Primary uses emerged in metallic bonding, forming, powder compaction and alloy formation, hole drilling, rock fracturing and shearing. Specific examples of the explosive bonding process were il- lustrated and discussed. Of partic-
