Introduction In the ever-evolving field of contemporary medicine, the convergence of technology and healthcare has led to remarkable advancements. Among these innovations, radiopaque marker bands stand out as crucial yet often overlooked components that significantly transform the domain of medical imaging. These seemingly simple bands, which may go unnoticed by those unfamiliar with their function, […]
The primary feature of superelastic (SE) Nitinol is its remarkable flexibility, being 10 to 20 times more flexible than stainless steel. This allows the material to “spring back” at strains of up to 11%. Such inherent flexibility is crucial for specific superficial stent applications, particularly in the carotid and femoral arteries, where external pressures can […]
Tungsten copper alloy combines the advantages of metal tungsten and copper. Tungsten has a high melting point (tungsten melting point is 3410℃, copper melting point is 1080℃), high density (tungsten density is 19.34g/cm3, copper density is 8.89 g/cm3); copper has excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, tungsten copper alloy (composition generally ranges from WCu7~WCu50) has uniform […]
According to statistics, 16% to 20% of the total titanium is used in sports and leisure products, which is the third largest titanium application. In terms of sports equipment, titanium is used in: golf clubs, club heads, tennis rackets, badminton rackets, fencing protective masks, swords, sprint shoe spikes, mountaineering tools, skis, ski boots, ski poles, […]
When alumina rods are used as bearings, the smooth surface can reduce the friction between the object and the ceramic surface, making the relative movement between the contact surfaces smoother, reducing wear and energy loss. This is especially important for bearing parts that require frequent contact or relative movement, which can extend their service life […]
In the realm of scientific research, **marker bands** denote the distinct bands observable in techniques such as electrophoresis, spectrophotometry, and X-ray diffraction. These bands are essential for identifying specific molecules, elements, or structures and are crucial across various scientific disciplines, including biology, chemistry, and physics. 1. Role of marker bands in biology (1) Protein and […]
Businesses in many industries, including aerospace, marine shipbuilding, and military/defense, rely on titanium forgings for various industrial and production uses. The metal is in high demand primarily because wrought titanium alloys have an excellent strength-to-density ratio and offer significant corrosion resistance. These two characteristics create a durable, reliable material that can function well on land, […]
Tungsten-copper composite materials are two-phase pseudo alloys composed mainly of tungsten and copper elements. They are metal-based composite materials. Due to the large difference in the physical properties of metal copper and tungsten, they cannot be produced by melting and casting, and are generally produced by powder alloy technology. Tungsten-copper alloys have a wide range […]
Corrosion of ceramic crucibles is an important consideration in the smelting of high-temperature alloys. A high-temperature environment is a prerequisite for corrosion to occur. At high temperatures, the contact interface between the ceramic crucible and the high-temperature alloy melt becomes active, providing the necessary energy for chemical reactions. Certain elements in the high-temperature alloy, especially […]
Boron nitride nozzles are high-performance nozzles, usually used for fluid dynamics research and spray experiments under special working conditions such as high temperature/high pressure, and are suitable for the following application areas: Atomization Powder-Making Field Water atomization, gas atomization, oil atomization, gas-water linkage atomization, and plasma atomization have developed successively and replaced the carbonyl method […]
