CUSTOMER SPOTLIGHT

This month we're featuring customer Matthew Coe of Coe Percussion. He uses the metal he buys from Speedy to build xylophones and marimbas like the ones pictured below.

He says: "The base frames of these instruments use stainless steel, aluminum, and regular steel in tubing and flats."

Did You Know...?

...that researchers have developed a new, more efficient technique for sustainable metal recycling?

Recycling metals, especially from electronics, can be costly, energy-intensive, and produce large amounts of toxic waste. However, researchers at Rice University have developed a new technique that doesn't require acid, water, or other solvents, AND achieves a purity of over 95% and yield of 85%.

It's called flash Joule heating (FJH) and it "involves passing an electric current through a material to rapidly heat it to extremely high temperatures, transforming it into different substances."

The team has successfully used it on a variety of materials, including tantalum, indium, and gallium, and they hope to try it soon on lithium.
