As the end of fall draws near we must not forget about our
favorite fall memories. For some of us
here at Applied Process, fall is our favorite time of year. This includes picking out the perfect
pumpkin, visiting cider mills, getting lost in corn mazes, running through haunted
houses, cheering at football games, and enjoying a pumpkin spice latte from one
of our favorite coffee shops.
The air is cool and the leaves are turning colors. It is the perfect time to enjoy every minute outside before the cold weather strikes Michigan, yet again. One of the traditions near and dear to our heart is hayrides with family and friends through the many cornfields and cider mills that cover some of Michigan’s scenic landscape. One thing you probably haven’t stopped to think about is the tow hitch that is used to pull that tractor full of playful children and eager bodies.
Applied Process is a leader in austempering technology and a typical application of austempered ductile iron (ADI) is receiver hitches. ADI provides a high strength-to-weight material that makes it a successful material across many industries, including agriculture. In this case it makes a seasonal tradition safe and possible.
