These materials possess a unique combination of properties, including low density, high stiffness, and excellent energy absorption capacity, which makes them ideal for applications in industries like automotive, aerospace, and construction. The structure of metal foams allows for significant weight reduction without compromising structural integrity, which is highly beneficial in the transportation industry where reducing fuel consumption and emissions is a priority. Additionally, metal foams have good thermal conductivity and can function as heat exchangers or thermal management systems in electronics and other high-performance devices.

The high surface-area-to-volume ratio of metal foams can also improve their effectiveness in catalytic converters or filtration systems, as the porous structure enables better interaction with gases or liquids passing through. However, the production of metal foams can be expensive, and controlling the uniformity of the pores remains a challenge, limiting their wider adoption. Nevertheless, advances in manufacturing technologies, including additive manufacturing, are improving cost efficiency and structural control, paving the way for broader use of metal foams in diverse industries.

An Inside Look at Hexagon Purus' Cylinder Winding👀 The video shows Hexagon Purus process in making carbon wrapped hydrogen cylinders using a state-of-the-art winding machine. Hexagon's primary cylinder product is the Type-4 tanks. Their design consists of a polymer lining cylinder that contains hydrogen and prevents it from leaking through its walls even under high pressure. However, the polymer lining lacks the strength to hold the pressure. This role is transferred to carbon fibers and epoxy resin, which are wound by special machines to a thickness of a couple of inches. The number, width, and position of the carbon filaments play a critical role in ensuring the performance and durability of the cylinder. Hexagon Purus's winding technology is a key enabler at their new facility in Kassel, Germany, where high-performance Type-4 hydrogen cylinders are already in production.

Dear LinkedIn community, I am thrilled to announce the publication of my latest research article titled "Improving the Machining Performance of Polymer Hybrid Composite by Abrasive Water Jet Machining for Precise Machining" in the esteemed Arabian Journal for Science and Engineering, a Springer publication with an Impact Factor of 2.3. 📚✨ #PrecisionEngineering #Manufacturing #ResearchPublication #PolymerComposites #AbrasiveMachining #SpringerPublications #SCIEJournal #ImpactFactor #MechanicalEngineering

Carbon fiber is a lightweight, high-strength material composed of thin filaments of carbon atoms bonded together in a hexagonal pattern crystalline structure. It's commonly used in aerospace, automotive, and sporting goods due to its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. Carbon fiber itself is actually fairly fire resistant. Carbon fiber has a very high decomposition temperature, typically exceeding 1000°C (1832°F). This means it won't easily burn or melt in a fire. Compared to many materials, carbon fiber maintains a good amount of its strength even at elevated temperatures. #fibre #polymerscience #polymertechnology #polymerscience #polymerindustry #carbonfiber #technology #materialscience #engineering

The ship of the future should be lighter, consume less fuel and therefore emit less CO2. Shipyards are already experimenting with a mix of materials: the hull is still made of steel, while the superstructure is made of aluminum. To join the two difficult materials together, adapters are attached using explosion welding. A complex, dangerous, and expensive process. 💥 This is where our engineers from the Laser Application Center come into play: together with partners from industry and research institutes, they are working on a funded project to integrate this adapter using laser beam welding. They are pursuing a completely new approach: steel and aluminum are welded overlapping. The adapters to be joined are welded onto the aluminum sheet in an undercut with two intersecting laser beams. This ensures high strength and more freedom in design thanks to high formability. Our development team has designed a very special processing head with completely new requirements: it has to control not just one, but two simultaneously emitting beam sources. And that's not all: the welding depth also needs to be controlled. The outer large area of the laser steel (lower intensity) is used to melt a relatively higher proportion of steel in order to produce a more malleable structure. The inner part of the laser beam (higher intensity) is used to weld into the aluminum alloy. 💡 The tests will run until the end of the year. This gives the shipbuilding industry an opportunity to continue working competitively and sustainably at the same time.
