Introduction to binary phase diagrams for metallurgy
A binary phase diagram plots the composition, expressed as a percentage of one element against temperature. At any given combination of composition and temperature, the phase of the metal can be determined.
PPG launches spray-on insulation coating for oil and gas, infrastructure industries
This silicone-based coating is designed for high-heat environments in the oil and gas, chemical, petrochemical and other critical infrastructure industries, where it offers improved safety, asset protection and operational efficiency compared to traditional thermal insulative materials.
Using light — not heat — to destroy PFAS
A room-temperature defluorination method offers a promising solution for treating perfluoroalkyl substances.
Fundamentals of metallurgical carburization and diffusion
Carburization is used most often for components that have high wear, such as gear teeth, fasteners, locks, camshafts, railroad wheels and many others. In particular, these components need to be resistant to wear, but also need to undergo repeated, cyclic stresses.
Newly engineered Norton NORaX abrasive belts offer significantly improved finishing, polishing performance
The new belts have up to 30% better performance compared with other belts in their class.
Algorithm advances optical thin film design
Transformer neural network technology can be tapped to optimize the optical properties of materials.
Axalta to take waterborne wood coatings to the next level with Cerulean
The new waterborne industrial wood coatings range combines low volatile organic carbons with the high-quality feel of solvent-based solutions.
Allrounder 720 E Golden Electric: Slim in design and price
The machine combines electrical precision, process stability and a small installation area with high component quality, low investment costs and short delivery times.
Precision wettability analysis for microscopically small surfaces
Measure the wettability of microscopic surfaces by almost any liquid with the DSA30M Flexible Liquid from KRÜSS.
Team creates environmentally friendly adhesive polymer
To create the adhesive polymer, the team used an electrophilic stabilizer to prevent a specific fatty acid from depolymerizing, which, in turn, enabled its use as an adhesive.
Available now: AZCO’s SUR SIZE Sheeter FGW 1650 for unwinding, slitting and cutting
The customizable cutting assembly includes heavy-duty unwinds, slitter station and edge guides to precisely unwind, slit and cut various materials.
New chalk-based fabric keeps things cool
The team developed a mineral-polymer coating comprised of calcium carbonate particles, which reflects visible and near-infrared light, while particles of barium sulfate reflect UV light.
Corrugated wall coverings promise to passively cool buildings
To reach this conclusion, the team added corrugated siding to a small test building, which reportedly lowered the temperatures of the wall.
A sustainable alternative to lithium batteries
The world's first 18650 potassium-ion battery represents a sustainable and cost-efficient alternative to the widely used lithium-ion battery chemistry.
Join ZERUST at IMTS 2024: Presentation on dual action cleaning and rust prevention
Learn how these products combine cleaning and rust prevention to streamline operations and enhance efficiency.
Team develops lignin-derived coating for protective gloves
The new coating offers abrasion resistance, and is both waterproof and resistant to chemicals and oil. Its developers suggest that the coating even protects against cuts and punctures.
New wildfire-shielding gel promises to protect homes
When introduced to the heat of a wildfire, the water in the gel will evaporate and the cellulose will burn away, leaving behind a silica-based aerogel with excellent insulation properties.
A path to fully recyclable lithium batteries
Prospects for fully recycling all components of rechargeable solid-state lithium batteries improve with a reconfigured device design developed at Pennsylvania State University.
ASC opens innovation awards and submissions for 2025
The awards recognize the top three cutting edge innovations from the adhesive and sealant industry.
Learn how to manufacture maritime parts in hours at IMTS 2024
New cold spray additive manufacturing technology prints nickel aluminum bronze parts in a fraction of the time traditionally required.
