Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have developed a coating for steam condensers used in fossil fuel steam-cycle generation that is made with fluorinated diamond-like carbon, or F-DLC.
Responding to the need for better insulating coatings on prismatic battery cells, Coatmaster AG, Switzerland, has developed the Coatmaster 3D noncontact coating thickness measurement system.
The four primary conditions that may be controlled directly by the operator are inlet temperature, flow rate of liquid feed by adjusting the pump speed and pressure, air flow rate, and particle size by adjustment and design of the atomizer.
Researchers not only raised the temperature, but also lowered the pressure required to achieve superconductivity. In a historic achievement, University of Rochester researchers have created a superconducting material at both a temperature and pressure low enough for practical applications. The team used spectroscopy to test the material to see how its properties changed with pressure. […]
In the past, atmospheric furnaces were used quite often for heat treatment of tool steels. Due to the improved furnace technology of vacuum furnaces and their increased distribution in the market, the percentage of tools heat treated in atmospheric furnaces has fallen significantly over the last 20 to 30 years. Furthermore, most of the atmospheric […]
