Electron beam evaporation (EBE) is a physical vapor deposition (PVD) technique for thin film deposition. During electron beam evaporation, a beam of high-energy electrons is used to heat and vaporize solid material, which then condenses on a substrate to form a thin film. Tungsten and molybdenum crucibles are often used in electron beam evaporation processes […]
Silicon nitride ceramics are an inorganic ceramic material that is very strong, especially hot-pressed silicon nitride, one of the world’s hardest materials. It has high strength, low density, and high-temperature resistance characteristics. The characteristics of silicon nitride ceramics are as follows -Color: gray and gray-black -Density: 3.15~3.25 g/cm3 -Hardness: HRA 92~94 -Maximum operating temperature: 1300 […]
A team of researchers in Germany has developed a prototype of an advanced heating/cooling system that can heat and cool air by compressing and unloading nitinol “muscle lines” at twice the efficiency of heat pumps or three times the efficiency of air conditioners. The device does not use refrigerant gas, which means it is a […]
Titanium Expanded mesh can also be applied to the electrolysis cell stack as part of the flow field or diffusion material, especially on the oxygen (anode) side, replacing the carbon-based gas diffusion layer (GDL) used in fuel cells. Our titanium mesh is made of expanded titanium that has been flattened and annealed, ensuring a smooth […]
Fiber optic connectors are indispensable passive devices in fiber optic communication systems. Most fiber optic connectors consist of three parts: two mating plugs (ferrules) and a coupling sleeve. The two ferrules are installed into the tail ends of the two optical fibers; the coupling sleeve plays an alignment role, and the sleeve is mostly equipped […]
Tantalum is a reactive and refractory metal. The periodic table shows it between reactive metals (titanium, zirconium, and hafnium) and refractory metals (molybdenum and tungsten). Tantalum and its sister element niobium are similar to these two elements in many ways, but also have many differences. Tantalum reacts with carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and hydrogen, reactions that […]
Electrochemical devices will play a key role as one of the solutions for the transition to renewable energy. Technologies such as water electrolyzers, fuel cells, and redox flow batteries can help achieve widespread electrification while coping with intermittent energy production. Both the cost and performance of these energy solutions have improved dramatically over the past […]
Titanium expanded mesh is favored for its unique properties and wide application areas. It is widely used in the following fields: Agriculture: used for ventilation, sunshade, insect prevention, etc. in greenhouses and livestock and poultry farms. Construction: used as decorative materials such as building curtain walls, ceilings, partitions, and structural reinforcement materials. Household appliances: used […]
Aluminum nitride ceramics have high hardness and are difficult to machine. In various application fields of aluminum nitride ceramics, high requirements are placed on the surface machining quality and precision. Brittle and hard materials are prone to brittle fracture during machining, causing surface defects such as broken layers, brittle cracks, residual stress, and plastic deformation […]
