  • Vinyl (Poly Vinyl Chloride) in Medical Applications
    Article - 26 Oct 2001
    Vinyl is the most widely used medical polymer in use today. Several properties including flexibility, durability, compatibility, sterilisability and low cost contribute to its use in applications such...
  • Vinyl Misconceptions
    Article - 26 Oct 2001
    Despite its wide acceptance, vinyl is a somewhat misunderstood material. Some of the misconceptions associated with vinyl are dealt with.
  • Stainless Steel - Grade 420 (UNS S42000)
    Article - 23 Oct 2001
    420 is a higher carbon version of grade 410. When fully hardened it is the hardest of this family of stainless steels. Hardness is optimised at the expense of other properties. Typical applications...
  • Stainless Steel - Grade 410 (UNS S41000)
    Article - 23 Oct 2001
    410 is the basic martensitic grade stainless steel. They are optimised for high hardness, although other properties can be compromised. Corrosion resistance is aided by hardening. Typical applicatiosn...
  • Stainless Steel - Grade 321 (UNS S32100)
    Article - 23 Oct 2001
    321 is similar to 304, but uses titanium as a stabilizer. They differ in that they are resistant to intergranular corrosion after heating to temperatures in the carbide precipitation range.
  • Stainless Steel - Grade 302HQ (UNS S30430)
    Article - 19 Oct 2001
    302HQ is a specialised wire grade finding very wide usage for manufacture of stainless steel fasteners. 3% copper in the composition reduces the cold work hardening rate compared to Grade 304.
  • Stainless Steel - Grade 253MA (UNS S30815)
    Article - 19 Oct 2001
    253MA combines high temperature performance with ease of fabrication. Working temperatures in excess of 1100°C see it used for furnace applications such as burners, retorts, conveyor belts and fans...
  • Superconductors - An Introduction
    Article - 11 Oct 2001
    Superconductivity is defined and the conditions necessary for materials to become superconducting are outlined. The differences between high temperature and low temperature superconductors are also...
  • Titanium Alloys - Alpha, Beta and Alpha-Beta Alloys
    Article - 24 Sep 2001
    Pure titanium exists in the alpha phase at room temperature and transforms to the beta phase at 882°C. The beta phase has many beneficial properties and can be frozen in using certain alloying...
  • Steel Plant Developments
    Article - 24 Sep 2001

The Current State of the Global Semiconductor Market

The global semiconductor market has entered an exciting period. Demand for chip technology is both driving the industry as well as hindering it, with current chip shortages predicted to last for some time. Current trends will likely shape the future of the industry, which is set to continue to show

How are Graphene Batteries Made?

How are Graphene Batteries Made?

The primary distinction between graphene-based batteries and solid-state batteries lies in the composition of either electrode. Although the cathode is commonly changed, carbon allotropes can also be employed in fabricating anodes.
