Forensic Materials Engineering for Product-Liability Litigation
November 13, 2018 | Track 139 Restaurant
Windsor , CT , United States
Every manufactured product is made from a natural or engineered material. Unfortunately, some things are made from the wrong material, or are made from the right material, but in the wrong way. Those mistakes can lead to product failures that have serious consequences. When a product failure is analyzed to determine the cause, the material performance is a critical factor to consider, and a materials engineer will be an integral component of the investigation team.

Carbon Supercomposite™: the materials, process and application
October 10, 2018 | Market Grille
Manchester , CT , USA
Boston Materials was spun-out of Northeastern University in 2016 by Anvesh Gurijala, Michael Segal, and Dr. Randall Erb. Since then, Boston Materials has scaled the production of Carbon Supercomposites from small square-inch samples to a continuous roll-to-roll process. Moving forward, Boston Materials will be launching an industrial-scale pilot facility and deliver market-ready Carbon Supercomposites to key customers by the summer of 2019.

Advanced thermal barrier coatings including bondcoat by cold spray and topcoat by liquid based plasma spray.
November 14, 2017 | Track 139 Restaurant
Windsor , CT , United States
Thermal barrier coating is a critical technology used in a wide variety of aero and industrial gas turbine industries. Thermal barrier coatings (TBC) typically consist of a MCrAlY metallic bond coat and a zirconia-based ceramic topcoat, and the primary function of TBC is to provide improved oxidation resistance and reduced thermal conductivity at elevated temperature environment.

ASM Hartford Technical Meeting - Design and Materials Selection for Oxygen System Compatibility in Space Applications
March 21, 2017 | Track 139 Restaurante
Windsor , United States
Woody Beringer, an expert on Oxygen Compatibility in Space Applications from UTC Aerospace Systems (UTAS), will be presenting to the Chapter. Title: Design and Materials Selection for Oxygen System Compatibility in Space Applications Abstract: Oxygen is a widely use chemical in industrial processes. However, it is reactive possibly causing the system components to become the fuel in a serious fire. Methods for evaluating the flammability of material with respect to oxygen pressure and temperature are available. Once the flammability is established, flammable materials are evaluated against a wide range of ignition mechanisms to determine the credibility of an ignition. Finally, the effects of an ignition or fire are evaluated to determine the criticality with respect to safety and the level of collateral damage that might occur. The result is an effective process and documented analysis for determining the system safety. Bio: Mr. Beringer is manager of Space Systems Materials Engineering at UTC Aerospace Systems (UTAS). He has worked at UTAS Space Systems for 33 years and has contributed to major NASA projects including design and development of oxygensystems for the Spacesuit as well as cooling and life support systems for Orion. He received his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Hartford and his M.S. in Metallurgy from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. He is a former member of ASTM G04 committee on Compatibility & Sensitivity of Materials in Oxygen Enriched Atmospheres from 1990-2005.
