When the frame of a pair of glasses is bent out of shape, it's not that easy to return it to its original form. If, however, your spectacles are made of a shape memory alloy then you don't have a problem. Just place the frame in hot water and bingo! – they're as good as new again. Empa researchers have now shown that these materials can also find applications in the building industry.
A $1.4 million dollar investment is expected to create an additional 50 new jobs over the next five years as medical device manufacturer Rhythmlink International, LLC announces a major expansion of its Richland County facility at 1140 First Street South in the Columbia Industrial Park. The expansion will include a world class automated packaging line in a new 1,500 square foot ISO 8 Certified, Class 100,000 cleanroom.
The potential expansion would increase melting and casting capabilities by up to 1.2 million tons above current melting capacity. This represents roughly an additional 800,000 tons per year of finished product along with 400,000 tons of melting capacity to be transferred as slab to SSAB’s Mobile facility for rolling and finishing.
Imagine a material with the same weight and density as aerogel -- a material so light it's called 'frozen smoke' -- but with 10,000 times more stiffness. This material could have a profound impact on the aerospace and automotive industries as well as other applications where lightweight, high-stiffness and high-strength materials are needed.
