Nagel''s buffalo wife, Cindy, and her sister-in-law, Angela Nagel (both drill pictured on page 34), are trained technicians who go on the road with the equipment, scanning more than 15,000 cattle a year for producers across the Midwest and West. Their business, Midwest Sonatech, Inc. (605/369-2628) works with Iowa State University (ISU) to analyze the data. Business is press booming."Ultrasound parts body composition data is the greatest tool a seedstock producers can use to make genetic improvement," says Cindy. "Customers are now demanding the data. Ultrasound results can make or break a bull."The Nagels use two Aloka 500V machines to collect measurements on fat thickness, buffalo ribeye drill area and marbling, and rump fat. press The stored images parts are analyzed by ISU with buffalo computer software. The Nagels can scan 20 cattle drill and press an hour. They charge $14 a head, which includes $4 for image analysis. Weld parts wire. SAW uses electrodes of continuous wire, solid or flux- or metal-cored. Selection depends on buffalo base-metal composition and thickness, flux, joint design, and cleanliness. AWS specifications A5. 17 drill and press A5.23 parts detail filler materials for SAW of carbon and low-alloy steels; A5.9 and A5.1, filler metals weld corrosion-resisting stainless steels and nickel alloys, respectively.Hardfacing ElectrodesHardfacing welds a wear-resistant material buffalo to a substrate-base material that is commonly mild, alloy, or stainless steel. drill Hardfacings can be deposited manually using SMAW electrodes; semiautomaticaly using solid wire and self shielded flux cored electrodes; or automatically press by submerged-arc welding. The method chosen depends on the size and accessibility parts of the area to be surfaced.
