Dow Corning Corp. has demonstrated a manufacturing process featuring new developmental silicone materials that significantly increases the production rate of solar panels, effectively lowering the cost per watt of solar power...

This article describes features and applications of thermal spray processes: Arc Spray Process, Flame Spray Process, Vacuum Plasma Spray Process (VPS), and High Velocity Oxygen Fuel Spray ...

The thermal spray gun uses plasma arc, combustible gases or an electric arc to generate the heat necessary to melt the coating material. The material changes to a plastic or molten state when heated ...

At sufficiently high coiling temperature and time after hot rolling a fully recrystallized grain structure is usually generated by self-annealing, i.e. a fully soft (O-temper) condition is achieved. During ...

Production starts with a DC (Direct Chill) casting operation. As the overall efficiency of the processing route is to a large degree determined by batch size, it is usually aimed for the largest ingots that can ...

Sheet production and processing operations are using simulation and modeling tools in an increasing range of applications, including the design and construction of modern rolling lines or the process ...

The article summarizes common additions are used for aluminum alloys, the engineering practice has acquired the following main addition methods for them, and recommendations, which should be kept in ...

One of the most important goals of aluminum alloy production by casting is the refinement of grain size, because coarse grain size immediately reflects in lower property levels. In the case of fixed ...

Some of the alloys of aluminum have been machined successfully without any lubricant or cutting compound, but in order to obtain the best results, some form of lubricant is desirable. Tools for ...

Usage of magnesium alloys for aerospace applications has declined and consumption for nuclear power is static. Specialized alloy development for these markets has continued but at a slower pace ...
