Oxide scale, which is essential to protect structural alloys from high-temperature degradation such as oxidation, carburization and metal dusting, is usually considered to consist simply of oxide ...

Many applications require joining metals to ceramics, such as sealing electrodes to glass enclosures for light bulbs. Such joints need to provide continuous chemical contact across the interface ...

In order to speed up development times, reduce manufacturing costs and the weight of aerospace components and to increase functionality and performance, research is being conducted into metallic ...

The performance of CVD coatings can be affected by the base material that they are placed upon. The team at SilcoTek recently tested the compatibility of a range of materials and metals commonly used ...

Japan’s Showa Denko (SDK) has developed a technology to directly bond aluminum alloys to polycarbonate resin — a non-crystalline commodity engineering plastic — without the need for use of an adhesive ...
