How does a turbocharger work? A turbo, is a turbine-driven, forced induction technology that increases an engine's efficiency by forcing additional compressed air into the combustion chamber. The compressor can force more air and thus fuel into the combustion...
Phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT) is an advanced method of ultrasonic testing that has applications in medical imaging and industrial nondestructive testing. Common applications are discover flaws in manufactured materials. Single-element, monolithic probes emit a beam in a fixed direction. To test a large volume...
A smart city is an urban area that uses a multitude of sensors and electronics to acquire data and use this knowledge to manage assets, resources and services more efficiently. The data is collected from individuals, devices, buildings and...
Net zero or carbon neutrality refers to achieving net zero CO2 by balancing emissions with carbon offsetting. This nature of the narrative is linked to industry, specifically of processes associated with transportation, energy production, agriculture, and industrial processes.
Submerged arc welding is a welding process developed and patented by Jones, Kennedy and Rothermund, and requires a continuously fed consumable metal cored electrode. The molten weld and the arc zone are protected by being submerged under a flux...
Brazing is a joining process in which two or more items are bound via a filler metal flowing into the joint. The filler material has a lower melting point than the target.
Ultrasonic testing (UT) is non-destructive testing method based on the propagation of ultrasonic waves in the material tested.
X-ray diffraction results from an electromagnetic wave interacting with a regular array of scatterers (arrangement of atoms within the crystal).
A nano coating or hydrophobic coating is a surface layer that repels water. It is made from superhydrophobic (ultrahydrophobicity) materials. In industry, nano coatings are used in surface applications. An imperceptibly thin layer of air forms on the surface....
Thermal Spraying Coating methods are processes for which materials (melted/or heated) are projected at high velocity onto a target surface. A coating precursor (feedstock) is heated by electrical (plasma or arc) or by a flame – a chemical process....
