Sandia National Labs performs stress corrosion cracking research and development because of the increasing need to ensure design quality and fidelity of spent nuclear fuel dry storage canisters. Robust research leads to enhanced predictions of where and when stress corrosion cracking may occur. In addition to aiding in the prediction of stress corrosion cracks, Sandia […]
Spray Tips: Powder properties produced by the Sol-Gel route
Powders produced by way of the sol-gel route. The sol structure can be in either an aggregated or dispersed structure, so varying degrees or particle alignments are obtained when the conversion to a gel takes place.
