SPEE3D, Australia, released the Phaser nozzle at the Cold Spray Action Team 2022 Conference in Worchester, Mass.–a new ultra high energy nozzle designed to work with a wider range of hard phase materials, and with a significant increase in deposition velocity.
Nano-sensor detects pesticides on fruit in minutes
Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have developed a tiny sensor using flame-sprayed nanoparticles made from silver for detecting pesticides on fruit in just a few minutes.
Spray Tips: Substrate cooling
Supplemental air cooling has two distinct advantages: controlling part temperature and removing overspray and fume debris from the coating surface.
New method for the mechanical tensile testing of micro and nanofibers
Testing the stiffness or tensile strength of fibers in the nano to micro range experimentally, is often very time-consuming. The samples in most cases have to be affixed using adhesive on both ends. Not only curing of the adhesive takes time, but also the sensor to which the fiber is glued cannot be reused. Now researchers from the Technical University of Vienna (TU Wiuen) have developed a test system that overcomes these obstacles.
