My seminal paper:

Optimizing deoxidation and desuIphurization during vacuum induction melting of alloy 718, J. Alexander,

The above referenced scientic publication is an indispensible reference of fundamental importance for the very highest quality (and not mentioned higher productivity) manufacturing by Vacuum Induction Melting (VIM) of a large family of alloys,(high intergrity materials such as aero-engine quality Nickel based superalloys (and similar materials). My paper was first briefly reported at a Superalloy meeting in London UK (1982) then fully published in 1984-85, in the, then new, journal, Materials Science and Technology (IOM3, UK). At the time of this work the only acceptable method of manufacturing to the very high standards and specifications of materials used in the manufacture of aeronatic engines was by the use of so called virgin materials, as opposed to the use of recycled materials (eg. previously manufactured and/or used alloys of same or simalar grades.)

(NB a typical aeroengine such as those powering an Airbus or Boeing Aircaft to name two is require to withstand 50 000 hrs of flight).

Now in this work sucessful trials and procedures were developped by which the use of either virgin raw material melt charges or carefully selected recycled materials (superally scrap) in the melt charge process equally reach the same very high standards required for aeroengine application.

This work has now been made available, online, by the UK Institute of Minerals,Mining and Materials (IOM3) and their publisher (Taylor and Francis) UK. As mentionned this work is now freely available to members of IOM3 via their website www.iom3.org.

The work was carried out while I, the author, worked at Imphy SA, now APERAM, in France (Burgandy Region, Department 58, La Nièvre).

My role was absolutely indispensible in the acceptance of the project by our steelworks and our chemical analysis laboratory in response to GE-SNECMA's extremely high aero-engine main shaft requirements obtaining adheshion of both Steelworks and Chemistry Lab (90 or so Chem Elements to be analysed in order to satisfy the imposed specification of the client GE-SNECMA consortium for the above work to begin. (I had previous engaged a college student to carry out an indepth inventory which allowed us to know all unwanted fragilising trace element ever encountered in over a historically long period within this long and rightly proud plant (company).

With his trace element inventory and subsequent analysis by use of a Venn Diagramme I was able to reduce the internal trace element spec to a few known and easy to analyse chem. elements in our inhouse Chem Lab. The indispensible adhesion of Meltshop and Chemistry Lab. was thus gained. Melt trials were programmed. A team composed of researchers and meltshop specialists was set up to follow the procedures in which improved, but difficult to handle, desoxidation and desulphurisation agents were to be introduced. During the first melt trial as the refining took place and timide ajustments were made following chemical analysis of specimens. The appointed research colleague on first melt- incidentally qualified to PhD level!!! "threw in the towel" while, I, as the experienced steel-melt-shop quality process engineer, stayed overseeing the initial meltshop personel and continued throughout the night making sucessive adjustments to the chosen chemical agents. At 5am in the morning the Chem. Lab anounced that all oygen and sulphur had been removed. "YES...EUREKA"! While others doubted the feasability the adjustments required to suceed and special precautions were published, In fact I finished these adjustments alone throughout the night. At about 5am in the morning, the laboratory was able to announce to me, virtually zero oxygene and sulphur in the melt. This work also showed that recycled materials can prove equally acceptable as the standard so called "virgin raw material" until then the only acceptable raw materials choice to meet the Aeronautics Authoritities stringent Safety Specifications and Regulations. And of course various improved economics and sustainability of ever rarifying strategic materials. NB. Highly reliable "aeronautic quality scrap material" was resourced via Ireland Alloys in Scotland (with thanks).

Rapidly these procedures were adopted in a wide range of Inconel & Udimet type superalloys and Hastelloys. The powder metallurgical plant was a very early adept to this breakthrough.

The overall cleanness of our (Imphy S.A.- now APERAM)special and superalloys was greatly enhanced.

I remain available to discuss and assist companies with such improvements if required. Most of this work has been adopted in regular production. Also these VIM procedures greatly helped the desulphurization ability of ESR-Electro Slag Remelting (Nothing like taking the sulphur our before ESR! ) Other productivity improvements were achieve.

Materials Science and Engineering Initiative focuses on sustainability: "Materials Science and Engineering Initiative focses on sustainability"

"UC Santa Cruz researchers are developing new materials for a wide range of devices and products, from solar cells to surfboards

"It sounds like something out of science fiction, but a magnetic skyrmion is a real thing, and skyrmion-based devices might someday dominate data storage and processing, combining high speed, low energy consumption, and small size.

UC Santa Cruz physicist David Lederman studies the materials needed to create and control skrymions, which are very stable, very small magnetic structures. He leads a team of scientists and engineers at three UC campuses and a national laboratory who are working to understand the fundamental physics of these structures while assessing the feasibility of using them in data storage and processing devices."

"Like the field of materials science in general, the project straddles the divide between basic and applied research. "There's a lot of fundamental science involved, but at the end of the day, you want to come up with something useful," Lederman said.

Materials science is also inherently interdisciplinary, he said, involving chemistry, physics, engineering, and even biology. Lederman directs the Materials Science and Engineering Initiative at UC Santa Cruz, which includes faculty in several departments in the Division of Physical and Biological Sciences and the Baskin School of Engineering."

Raising the standards_How nickel-containing stainless steel make food safer

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 16 Jan 2017 19:02:00 +0000

How nickel-containing stainless steel make food safer

The FDA considered this Listeriosis outbreak to be “yet another reason to fully implement the Food Safety Modernization Act” (FSMA) which was signed into law on January 4, 2011. The Act aims to ensure the US food supply is safe by shifting the focus of federal regulators from responding to contamination to preventing it, and provides the FDA with the authority to require preventive controls across the food supply chain; perform inspections and ensure compliance; recall contaminated food and ensure imported foods meet US standards.

Are these standards met in the EU.?

The arguements are well illustrated in the Ni-Institute News Letter under the following 3 paragraphe headed as follows:

The full letter may be consulted at the link beleow.

Raising the standards:

"A fifth of all nickel production is destined for food contact materials, primarily stainless steel, which because of its outstanding properties meets the stringent requirements of the industry. To ensure that food is completely safe, standards and guidelines for equipment must be adhered to. Yet there are many different standards, by different organizations, in different countries, with different approaches, even if they have the same ultimate goal. Some standards are mandatory, others are voluntary, and they are regularly updated to address new concerns."

-Need for standards Explained.

-A stainless steel for every application.

-Not just clean and shiny.

CRITICAL -STRATEGIC MATERIAL ISSUES ADDRESSED

Critical Materials Institute announces partnership with Rio Tinto "

The Critical Materials Institute (CMI) & Rio Tinto, a mining and metals company.

"The Critical Materials Institute (CMI) - a U.S. Department of Energy Innovation Hub led by the Ames Laboratory - announced today an important new research initiative in partnership with Rio Tinto, a mining and metals company. The new initiative aims to ensure that the United States fully leverages domestic mineral and metal resources necessary for global leadership in clean energy manufacturing.

The Rio Tinto-CMI research partnership will combine Rio Tinto's operational expertise with CMI's research capabilities, materials science expertise and computing power. Focused on the efficient extraction of critical materials from the copper smelting process, the research will have three core work-streams:

MATERIALS & AIMS

1. Improving recovery rates of critical minerals and metals (rhenium, selenium, tellurium, scandium, etc.) from samples sourced from Rio Tinto's operating Kennecott Copper Mine in Utah and the Resolution Copper project currently under regulatory review and permitting in Arizona.

2. Exploring potential for increasing recovery rates of rare minerals and metals through processing waste tailings.

3. Examining process improvements that would facilitate the blending of processed electronic waste ('e-waste') with copper concentrates to substantially increase the recovery of valuable metals such as gold, copper, silver, platinum, lithium and rare earths present in spent cellphones, computers and solar panels.

Greening Power: "How nickel is enabling the shift to low-carbon energy"

"Where and how the world finds its energy is changing. Yet how nickel-containing materials are enabling and supporting this dynamic process may not seem obvious until one looks closely."

-Hydro Power: "By far the most important to date and with a long engineering and economic history'

-Solar, wind...

-Future material needs:

Are the production of energy and power themes, where the importance of Nickel (Ni) and its alloys are illustrated.

An extended treatment may found in The Nickel Institute Magazine: "

Greening Power

How nickel is enabling the shift to low-carbon energy

Short of time? - The Institutes Conclusion:

"Questions of materials supply and demand have led researchers to consider the implications of supply constraints to different economic and technical choices for energy production.¹ Of current scenarios in use by different institutions, two were modeled for the period 2010-2050: Market First (where economics have primacy) and Policy First (where governments take strong measures to achieve social and environmental goals).

The mix of energy sources shows dramatic differences. Note, however, that it doesn’t matter which scenario or variation dominates by 2050. Nickel and nickel-containing materials and chemicals will be there to enable technologies and sustain the electrical grids upon which societies depend."

Ultrathin Photovoltaics Produced at MIT story brought by IHS Engineering360

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 08 Apr 2016 17:24:00 +0000

Incredible Technological feat from MIT!

Ultrathin Photovoltaics Produced at MIT | IHS Engineering360

"Researchers at MIT have now demonstrated the thinnest, lightest solar cells ever produced. Though it may take years to develop into a commercial product, the laboratory proof-of-concept shows a new approach to making solar cells that could help power the next generation of portable electronic devices.

The new process is described in a paper by MIT professor Vladimir Bulović, research scientist Annie Wang, and doctoral student Joel Jean, in the journal Organic Electronics.

Bulović, MIT’s associate dean for innovation and the Fariborz Maseeh (1990) Professor of Emerging Technology, says the key to the new approach is to make the solar cell, the substrate that supports it, and a protective overcoating to shield it from the environment, all in one process. The substrate is made in place and never needs to be handled, cleaned, or removed from the vacuum during fabrication, thus minimizing exposure to dust or other contaminants that could degrade the cell’s performance.

“The innovative step is the realization that you can grow the substrate at the same time as you grow the device,” Bulović says.

In this initial proof-of-concept experiment, the team used a common flexible polymer called parylene as both the substrate and the overcoating, and an organic material called DBP as the primary light-absorbing layer. Parylene is a commercially available plastic coating used widely to protect implanted biomedical devices and printed circuit boards from environmental damage. The entire process takes place in a vacuum chamber at room temperature and without the use of any solvents, unlike conventional solar-cell manufacturing, which requires high temperatures and harsh chemicals. In this case, both the substrate and the solar cell are “grown” using established vapor deposition techniques.""

That's very strange, as it goes completely counter to all the common knowledge regarding the thickness effect on ferroelectric properties." says Alexei Gruverman, a University of Nebraska-Lincoln physics and astronomy professor who worked on the research.
