Ultrasound provides cleaner, more efficient degassing
Scientists at Brunel University have confirmed that treating molten metal with ultrasound is a cleaner, greener, more efficient route to producing high quality castings. At 700°C, molten aluminium alloys naturally contain a high percentage of dissolved hydrogen, leaving a highly porous result if unaddressed. The most widely-used method of hydrogen removal, argon rotary degassing, is energy intensive and requires costly components.
Wireless networking for the industrial IoT
Monitoring and measuring even very simple parameters improves processes, reduces downtime and saves money. By Mike Fahrion, Director of Product Management, B&B Electronics.
Sophisticated X-ray ensures hassle-free PCBA inspection
Subcontract manufacturers of PCBAs generally use a number of different tools for quality control, such as flying probe testers, camera-based automated optical inspection and X-ray equipment. Very few UK manufacturers can boast such sophisticated X-ray inspection capability as Newbury Electronics, following the company’s purchase of a Nikon Metrology XT V160 in January 2014.
Leading scientists describe the automotive future
By 2050, if emission targets set by governments are to be met, most vehicles will need to be electrically propelled, with an on-board battery or hydrogen fuel cell, concludes the expert team responsible for 'Towards Sustainable Road Transport'. As senior research chemists who have spent their professional careers working in the fields of energy and electrochemistry, the trio of scientists describe the growth and technical development of road vehi...
Cloud based tools used to develop hydrogen fuel cell car
Riversimple has chosen to use Cadonix’s Arcadia cloud based tools to develop the first road-going version of it’s hydrogen fuel cell powered car. Schematic design, animated circuit simulation and analysis, electrical networking and harness design are provided by the Arcadia CAD. For wire harness layout and manufacture, the easy to use tool also offers full design rule checking.
High-performance pyroelectric detectors with DLaTGS
The basic material of pyroelectric detectors with the highest performance level is DLaTGS (Deuterated and L-alanine-doped TriGlycine Sulfate). The D* of DLaTGS is typically 2.5 times higher than in LiTaO3 detectors. DLaTGS detectors have a high detectivity, even at high frequencies, and a wide spectral sensitivity range from UV to THz wavelengths that is only limited by the detector window used.
Partnership seeks to 'drive' engineering students
Altair has been chosen as a strategic software partner for Cranfield University’s Advanced Motorsport Engineering course. The partnership hopes to teach progressive simulation techniques to students who are aspiring to lead the next generation of motorsport teams at companies such as Mercedes AMG, Red Bull Technology, Lotus F1, McLaren F1, Sauber F1, Williams F1, Caterham F1, Marussia F1, and Sahara Force India.
Controlled atmosphere furnaces displayed at The Battery Show
BTU International has revealed that it will be exhibiting in Booth #B1524 at The Battery Show, 16th to 18th September in Novi, Michigan. At the event, BTU will showcase its controlled atmosphere furnaces which are available with temperature ranges up to 1800°C and with various process atmospheres including hydrogen, nitrogen and argon.
DC power relays respond to renewable energy needs
Switchtec is now stocking Hongfa’s high voltage DC power relays. The components are a response to the growing renewable energy market that includes electric vehicles and the storage of DC energy, where there is a parallel requirement within these applications to switch high voltage DC circuits. The relays use Hongfa’s own patented technology and independent intellectual property to achieve high levels of performance.
