If defects such as cracks or discontinuities are present, the magnetic particles will be attracted to and accumulate around these areas, becoming easily visible in proper lighting. MPT is highly effective for detecting defects in steel, iron, and nickel alloys. It is widely used in manufacturing,...
There are many different forms of steel alloys used today. They are tailored during their processing phases to meet the wide array of engineering applications. Steel alloy in its simplest form is a basic mixture of Iron and Carbon and by varying the carbon content, the rate of cooling and th...
Metals are used extensively in many industries due to their tensile strength and versatility. However, they are also prone to corrosion. Rust on iron-based materials, tarnish on silver, patina on copper and copper alloys are common examples of corrosion. This is a problem because corrosion decrea...
Items made from injection molding Injection molding is used for manufacturing plastic, rubber and metal. Materials are fed through a heated barrel in the machine and forced into a mold where it will cool and take its shape. An injection molding machine can stamp out metal car shell parts, rub...
XRF instrumentation employing SDDs can be used in applications that require extreme sensitivity, such as the detection of tramp elements in alloys that can degrade performance. Residual elements can be measured with a confidence once only possible in the lab. SDDs are also required to analyze light...
demand is expected. At present 85% of nickel is used in stainless steel and alloys, and only 5% for batteries. It is expected that by 2025 the battery share will increase to 25%. This increase of batteries for electrical vehicles is expected to be concomitant with an increase of nickel ...
