Composite metal foams (CMFs) are intriguing materials, offering several big advantages over traditional solid metal. And while the welding of CMFs usually poses some challenges, it has now been been ...

For over 30 years, Sinergo has developed special electromagnetic induction machines. In the last 10 years, the focus has been on the technique of heating composite materials by means of ...

Components for the aerospace or transportation industry are typical applications for fibre-reinforced thermoplastic polymer composites. These components often require the production of large, complex ...

Researchers at North Carolina State University have now identified a welding technique that can be used to join composite metal foam (CMF) components together without impairing the properties that ...

Composite metal foams (CMFs) are foams that consist of hollow, metallic spheres – made of materials such as stainless steel or titanium – embedded in a metallic matrix made of steel, titanium, ...

Unlike composites made with a thermoset matrix, thermoplastic composites (TPCs) require neither complex chemical reactions nor lengthy curing processes. Thermoplastic prepregs require no refrigeration ...

Thermoplastic composites welding has the potential to significantly improve the sustainability of commercial aircraft production. Tier 1 airframer Collins Aerospace (Charlotte, N.C., U.S.) claims on ...

Miron Construction used Miller Electric's ProHeat 35 to preheat structural welds at the Lambeau Field Expansion for the Green Bay Packers. Miron used the ProHeat 35 throughout the project - instead of ...

Thermoplastic films have been used in flexible medical product applications since the 1960s, when plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC) blood storage bags replaced glass bottles. 1 In the 1970s, PVC ...
