Switching from metal to a PA/PPA blend can offer significant savings in both weight and cost. BASF has introduced a range of polyamide (PA) and polyphthalamide (PPA) blends, named Ultramid T7000, that provide more consistent mechanical properties compared to PA 66, making them ideal for advanced metal replacement in structural components. The inclusion of PPA reduces water absorption, ensuring dimensional stability. Additionally, Ultramid T7000 can be easily injection-molded like PA 66, resulting in parts with a sleek and glossy finish. This exceptional combination of features makes the PA/PPA blend an excellent choice for metal replacement in structural applications exposed to moisture, such as automotive mirrors, air brake parts, and valves, as well as for furniture assemblies. Beyond its mechanical advantages, Ultramid T7000 can be fine-tuned with BASF’s Ultrasim simulation tool to enhance noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) performance. This leads to a more durable assembly with fewer parts, eliminating corrosion and improving longevity. Consequently, using the PA/PPA blend instead of metal can result in substantial weight and cost reductions for the entire assembly. Details here 👉 https://lnkd.in/eVRYS34J

Composites 101: Resin Infusion Let’s get into the basics of ✨Resin Infusion✨, a fascinating manufacturing technique that is widely spread in the composites industry! Resin infusion is a sophisticated technique for manufacturing high performance, void-free composites even on large or complicated molds. In this manufacturing process, reinforcement is laid into the mold ‘‘dry’’, i.e. without any resin, and then enclosed in a specially configured stack of bagging materials (such as peel-ply, infusion mesh, and bagging film) before being subjected to vacuum pressure using a vacuum pump.🔄 Once all the air has been removed from the bag and the reinforcement has been fully compressed under this pressure, liquid resin (mixed with hardener) is introduced to the reinforcement through a pipe which then infuses through the reinforcement under the vacuum pressure. Once the resin has fully infused through the reinforcement, the supply of resin is cut off and the resin is left to cure, still under vacuum pressure. 🛠️ This video shows a Volvo Ocean Race boat's hull mold being infused in late 2012!🚤 Fascinating, isn't it?

Are all elastomers the same? 🤔 They may look alike, but there's a huge variety of elastomer materials; each suitable for different application requirements. Selecting the right elastomer is critical for achieving optimal seal performance! What must we consider when selecting materials? ✅ Material hardness: this impacts seal friction, assembly load, and resistance. Softer elastomers suit rough hardware surfaces, while harder ones handle wear in dynamic applications better ✅ Chemical compatibility: choose elastomers that resist breakdown when exposed to fluids and gases, preventing swelling or shrinkage ✅ Temperature range: elastomers low-high temperature vary depending on group, and selecting incorrectly can lead to degradation and seal failure Choosing the correct elastomer grade can be complex, but it's essential. Our engineers are here to help you with the process! Head to our website for more in-depth information on elastomer selection ⬇ https://lnkd.in/e4iAe49A #Elastomers #SealingSolutions #Engineering #ChemicalCompatibility #SealPerformance

⚡Greater 𝐝𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 in high-pressure applications with VICTREX PEEK and PTFE Backup Rings ⚡ Backup rings can be used in all applications but primarily are added when higher pressures or pressure spikes, higher temperatures and / or larger extrusion gaps form part of the operating conditions. Backup rings are not seals themselves, but are used in conjunction with O-rings or other seals in high-pressure applications. Backup rings are installed in the downstream side of the gland, however can be installed either side of the O-ring to give a high performance double acting seal. 𝐕𝐈𝐂𝐓𝐑𝐄𝐗 𝐏𝐄𝐄𝐊 👇 It is a linear, aromatic, semi-crystalline polymer widely regarded as one of the highest performing thermoplastics in the world. It provides a unique combination and range of high performance properties. 𝐏𝐓𝐅𝐄 👇 Being hydrophobic, non-wetting, high density and resistant to high temperatures, PTFE is an incredibly versatile material with a wide variety of applications, though it's perhaps best-known for its non-stick properties. We can manufacture to customer drawings/specifications and design backup rings to suit your specific applications.

The difference between injection molded magnets and sintered magnets Production process and cost: Injection molding magnetic production process is simple, easy to automate production, and has low cost. The production process of sintered magnets is complex and costly. Magnetic properties and stability: Injection molding has stable magnetic properties, although the surface magnetic field performance is slightly lower than that of sintered magnets, it can meet most application requirements. The magnetic properties of sintered magnets may decrease under certain conditions. Physical characteristics and reliability: Injection molded magnetic products have high toughness, are not easy to break, high dimensional accuracy, and good consistency. Sintered magnets are relatively brittle, prone to fracture, and have poor dimensional accuracy. Design and application degrees of freedom: Injection molded magnets can be processed into complex shapes to meet diverse design requirements, and can form multi pole products in one go. Sintered magnets have limited shape and complex multi polarization processing. Application areas and market demand: Injection molded magnets are widely used in high-performance micro motors, automotive motors, and other fields with high market demand. Sintered magnets are more commonly used in applications that require extremely high magnetic properties. #highkos #magnet #ceilingfan #tpw #tpwfan #rotor #innerrotor #outerrotor #home_appliances #india #motor #bldc #fan #stator #bldc_motor #ferrite #ferrite_magnet #injection

Every drop of adhesive or fluid applied in production carries with it the principles of fluid dynamics. The viscosity, surface tension, and flow rate are just the tip of the iceberg. These properties determine how a fluid behaves during application and affects everything from coating uniformity to dry times. Understanding these fluid properties allows us to design applicators that work in harmony with the liquids they apply. This ensures consistent quality and efficiency, whether you're coating a small component or an entire surface!

Enhanced Clarity in Every Flow: Horizon Polymer's Sight Flow Indicators & Full View Glass Indicators. ◼ Horizon Polymer's Bull's Eye Sight Indicators are ideal for observing fluid characteristics of severely corrosive liquids. Motion, flow & colour can be inspected visually during the process, since these indicators are equipped with two heavy Pyrex tempered and polished glass windows for ANSI Class 150 service. ◼Drip Lips of PTFE are suggested for use with Horizon Polymer's Sight Indicators where, because of small quantity of liquid in line, it is difficult to determine if flow is present. These devices collect the liquid and allow it to spill from the drip lip, which is located at the centre of the glass. Drip lips can only be used in vertical lines. ◼Flutter Flow Indicators are recommended in any service where it is necessary to determine if a line is completely full or completely empty. Movement in the flutter flow indicator shows that the line is full. ◼Horizon Polymer’s full view glass are also available for pharmaceutical customers.
