Crucibles are specialized containers for melting metallic materials at very high temperatures. The molten material is cast into new objects or used to make new alloys (different metals combined in specific proportions). Since crucibles are used to melt materials at high temperatures, the material used to make the crucible must have a higher melting point […]
The introduction of radiopaque markers into modern medical procedures has revolutionized the way in which specialists gather information from inside the body. When these markers were first introduced, they allowed for more exacting and detailed imaging than ever before. Knowing how and when to use these markers is essential for any medical professional involved in […]
If you’re looking for a cutting-edge medical imaging technique with precision accuracy and reliability, the platinum iridium marker bands provide just that. These small markers are placed around any area of tissue or organ that requires monitoring and produce detailed images in real time to assist doctors in making informed decisions. Not only do they […]
For those who have to work and create in high-temperature environments, the need for strong metals that retain their properties even when exposed to extreme heat is paramount. This has led us to the realm of refractory metals – durable, reliable materials with incredibly high melting points that provide a safe working environment in hostile […]
The production of specialty metals down to the industrial level requires a great deal of precise engineering and planning. Without the right materials doing exactly what they’re supposed to, many processes can be slowed or even halted altogether. In particular, blast furnaces and other melting processes require refractory material that is resistant to high temperatures […]
