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.
Engineers at Lockheed Martin recently proved their design for the world’s most powerful Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite can operate in and withstand the harsh conditions it will experience on orbit.
NASA’s follow-on to the successful ICESat mission will employ a never-before-flown technique for determining the topography of ice sheets and the thickness of sea ice, but that won’t be the only first for this mission.
Hexcel and Boeing today celebrated the first flight of the 737 MAX 8 — the first member of Boeing’s efficient 737 MAX family — which took to the skies from Renton Field near Boeing’s 737 Final Assembly plant in Renton, Wash.
Lightweight metals leader Alcoa today announced a long-term supply agreement with Boeing for multi-material aerospace parts. Under this agreement, Alcoa will supply components for the 777X—Boeing’s newest commercial airplane—the 737 MAX—scheduled for first delivery in 2017—and the 787 Dreamliner. The deal draws on capabilities gained through the Firth Rixson acquisition and the Company’s new aluminum-lithium facility in Lafayette, Indiana.
Toho Tenax Co., Ltd., the core company of the Teijin Group’s carbon fibers and composites business, announced today that it has revised and renewed a long-term contract to supply PYROMEX®, an oxidized PAN fiber (OPF) to UTC Aerospace Systems (UTAS), a member of the United Technologies (UTC) group. Under the terms of the agreement, Toho Tenax and UTAS have extended their contract another five years, to 2030.
Polyimides are considered to be a lot denser than metals and are capable of withstanding chemically aggressive solvents and heat. This is the main reason why polyimides remain popular in the industry especially in aerospace applications or as an insulation layer used on PCBs. Researchers at TU Wien have developed a synthesis procedure, providing new possibilities for polyimides. For the first time, it is now possible to develop angular polyimide particles.
