  2022 Technologies in Aerospace Composite Process Composites are used in the  #aerospaceindustries ; those are termed  #aerospace  composite. The composite materials are light in weight. The lightweight of composite structural aerospace parts helps reduce the overall weight of the aircraft, thereby leading to a better weight ratio. The structural parts manufactured using composites tend to be light in weight and possess high strength. Composites are used to make various parts of  #aircraft  like engine blades, interiors, and nacelles.

  📢Saturday Spotlight!📢 DYNAPIXEL tool! Cikoni is trying to solve a recurrent problem in the composites industry: the high costs of the tools and molds that are necessary for every fiber composite manufacturing technology and for every new geometry to be built. This is where the reconfigurable DYNAPIXEL tool system comes in. By means of a discretization of the tool surface with actuated pins, rapid prototypes or customer-specific components can be created without recurring tooling costs. An elementary constituent for the efficient use of the tool is a closed digital process chain. The DYNAPIXEL software uses script-based generation of support points directly in CAD and the seamless transfer of this data to the control software of the DYNAPIXEL tool. This also enables the fast, adaptive production of components. DYNAPIXEL also uses a silicone membrane, which can be used as a laminating surface and with molding processes up to 180°C. For double-diaphragm forming, you would enter the CA

Researchers have developed a new membrane technology that allows for more efficient removal of carbon dioxide (CO2) from mixed gases, such as emissions from power plants. "To demonstrate the capability of our new membranes, we looked at mixtures of CO2 and nitrogen, because CO2/nitrogen dioxide mixtures are particularly relevant in the context of reducing greenhouse gas emissions from power plants," says Rich Spontak, co-corresponding author of a paper on the work. "And we've demonstrated that we can vastly improve the selectivity of membranes to remove CO2 while retaining relatively high CO2 permeability." "We also looked at mixtures of CO2 and methane, which is important to the natural gas industry," "In addition, these CO2-filtering membranes can be used in any situation in which one needs to remove CO2 from mixed gases—whether it's a biomedical application or scrubbing CO2 from the air in a submarine." Membranes are an attractive tech

  📢It's Story-Time!📢 Meet the creator of the world's first carbon fiber monocoque mountain bike: Chris Hornzee-Jones! In the early 90s, Chris moved from the UK to California to work in aerospace composites, in his baggage there was a love of cycling, including a fascination with human-powered vehicles. The lot came together in a sketch that morphed into a prototype that evolved into an extraordinary, original off-roader that was eventually sold back to the UK under the Lotus brand. The frame of this bike is a true monocoque, made in one piece. Attempts by others in the early days had all been of two pieces (or more) joined together. Its shape may or may not have been inspired by Chris’s interest in dolphins, which he’d studied in the Bahamas. Internal cable routing keeps the lines clean. The chainstays came in for special carbon attention too, because of that Softail element: the sides use high-grade aerospace material called Intermediate Modulus Carbon, and along the top and

  Bottle manufacturer Yiwu Midi Technology, Zhejiang has selected Ultrason® P 3010 from BASF to produce reusable to-go mugs for the market launch of its new business segment. Because of its durability, high-temperature resistance and design versatility the BASF polyphenylsulfone (PPSU) offers a unique combination of lifestyle attributes and sustainability for high-quality to-go cups that are lightweight, shatter-proof, and fashionable: Ultrason® P 3010 maintains the flavor of e.g. coffee without any impact on taste or odor. It does not show any discoloration by contact with hot or cold liquids like coffee, juices, soft drinks, or tea. Lesser Packaging Waste At the same time, the BASF thermoplastic polymer contributes to less packaging waste as the mugs can be reused many times and thus support a circular economy: The chemically resistant Ultrason® P 3010 easily withstands cleaning agents as well as the high temperatures in dishwashers and is even sterilization-proof without losing its

  The BMW iX5 Hydrogen is currently undergoing a demanding program of testing in extremely challenging weather conditions. It is all part of final winter testing for the car on public roads and at the BMW Group’s testing center in Arjeplog, northern Sweden. The integrated functional testing and validation of the fuel cell system, hydrogen tanks, peak power battery, and central vehicle control unit have confirmed that this additional CO2-free mobility option can also be relied on to provide sustainable driving pleasure with high levels of comfort and unrestricted performance in extreme sub-zero temperatures. The tests close to the Arctic Circle see the BMW Group pressing ahead with its development process for the BMW iX5 Hydrogen. The company will produce a small series of the model later in the year and is also committed to helping expand the network of hydrogen fueling stations. “The winter testing under extreme conditions clearly shows that the BMW iX5 Hydrogen can also deliver full
