Vacuum furnaces are highly flexible tools capable of providing numerous thermochemical conditions with various reactive gases at elevated temperatures and extreme pressures to alter the chemical or mechanical properties of materials.
When it comes to testing and measuring in the aerospace and aviation industries, meeting the toughest requirements is essential.
Pete Woolridge, Sales Specialist with Bondtech Corporation, walks past the 113,000-pound autoclave that was delivered to IMS Fabrication, owned by Bondtech, in Salisbury, North Carolina.
Researchers have developed a new liquid-secreting material that could make an aircraft's wings and other similar surfaces so slippery that ice would slide off easily. This latest development could make aircraft deicers a thing of the past.
Since 29 January 2016, Phytron GmbH has been certified under DIN EN 9100 for the aerospace industry and has thus been added to the OASIS database of around 400 approved aerospace suppliers worldwide. This certification is the result of the continuous refocussing of our traditional firm to become a future-oriented high-tech company. As part of the process of certification by AIRCERT, the company's quality management system that has been built up over the last decades was successfully reviewed.
The JEC World exhibition that reaches in 2016 the unequalled surface of 62,000 sqm will introduce, for the first time, four new display areas totaling more than 1,800 sqm. The so-called Planets will feature innovative and iconic parts, final products, and some of the 2016 JEC Innovation Awards recipients.
Formulated for many electronic applications, Master Bond Supreme 3HTND-2CCM is a multifunctional epoxy that is well suited for chip coating, glob top and die attach applications as well as for bonding, sealing and encapsulation.
An active variable stiffness vibration isolator has been developed by researchers from HRL Laboratories’ Sensors and Materials Laboratory. This isolator is capable of millisecond actuation times and 100x stiffness changes, independent of the static load. In the words of Principal Investigator Christopher Churchill, “This performance surpasses existing mechanisms by at least 20 times in either speed or useful stiffness change."
Siemens has opened a production facility for metal 3D printed components in Finspång. The investment of around 200 million Swedish Krona (€21.4 million) is the first step in the company’s plans for the mass manufacture and repair of metal parts with additive manufacturing. Siemens already use rapid prototyping as a standard procedure and rapid repair in some commercial applications. This is a long-term investment to build up the skills and experience to lead to new ideas and developments in the field.
After nearly 100 years as the go-to material in aerospace construction, aluminum is facing competition from composites and other advanced materials. Starting Monday, attendees of SME's annual AeroDef Manufacturing with Composites Manufacturing technical conference and exhibition will see first-hand the advanced materials powering today's revolutions in aerospace construction.
