1. Co-precipitation method The co-precipitation method is currently the most commonly used method for preparing nano-zirconia due to its simple operation, easy control of the reaction process, and low cost. The specific process of this method is: adding some stabilizers (such as Y(NO3)3) and dispersing agents (such as PEG2000, etc.) to make soluble zirconium salts […]
Are you a research and development specialist looking for ways to improve your processes and get better results? Copper tungsten rods may be the answer that you have been searching for. It has proven incredibly useful when applied in various scientific environments, from its ability to decrease heating time to its stability during high temperatures […]
Do you ever find yourself looking for a material that can withstand the rigors of high heat, abrasion resistance, and strength while achieving conductivity? Copper tungsten rods may be just what you’re looking for. As a conductor together with its namesake base metal tungsten, copper tungsten (CuW) alloys offer superior performance even in extreme temperature […]
Tungsten is a rare metal with many amazing properties, though not as well-known as its remarkable counterparts like gold and silver. Despite this obscurity, however, tungsten has been used by humanity for thousands of years due to how versatile and durable it is. This versatility combined with the relative abundance of the mineral makes it […]
From biomedical imaging and aerospace engineering to consumer products and research initiatives, Nitinol Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) is revolutionizing the modern engineering landscape. This ultra-flexible, temperature-responsive metal has quickly become a highly sought-after material for its remarkable properties. With an ability to store vast amounts of energy and then recall it later on demand, Nitinol […]
As an important part of chemical equipment, crucible is a container for melting and refining metal liquid and heating solid-liquid reaction, which is the basis for the smooth progress of chemical reaction. Crucibles were originally made of clay, and one of the earliest uses of platinum was to make crucibles. With the development of manufacturing […]
At a time when medical imaging technology is rapidly advancing, one of the oldest materials, platinum iridium marker bands, still stands out as the gold standard in medical imaging. While more modern alternatives have been developed over recent years that offer cheaper and lighter solutions, few can match this classic material’s reliability and durability. For […]
Choosing between different types of metals and alloys is an important decision for any engineer, mechanic, or professional working on a project involving these materials. You might be wondering what the difference is between tantalum metal and tantalum tungsten alloys, and how to make sure you choose the right one for your needs. In this […]
