Titanium Boride – Mechanical and Thermal Properties as a Function of Density and Grain Size

titanium boride (TiB2) is a highly effective ceramic component for use in the aerospace, nuclear, and military industries. TiB2 exhibits outstanding properties including high hardness, low density, and excellent resistance to corrosion. These properties make it suitable for a wide range of applications, including wear resistant pieces, steel matrix reinforcements, wall-tiles in nuclear reactors, and …

What is Aluminium-Silicon Alloy?

What’s an Aluminium-Silicon Alloy? This binary alloy can be made from both silicon and aluminium and preserves the unique properties of each. The alloy of metals in which silicon is used to cast works well with it. It improves fluidity as well as melt temperature. Solidification also reduces shrinkage. Silicon can be purchased as a …

The Elements of the Periodic Table

The Group 3B elements (called the inner transition metals in some periodic tables) are malleable and ductile, as well as good conductors of heat and electricity. They usually form 2+ and 3+ ions, but some form other oxidation states. Ruthenium is a silvery-gray, extremely brittle and stable metal that is used in electrical contact points …

Iron Powder Formula

About iron powder formulaThere is an increasing demand for infant formulas to be fortified with essential nutrients such as DHA and iron. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that formula-fed infants receive an iron-fortified infant formula to prevent the risk of iron-deficiency (ID). In addition, some formulas contain other nutrients such as docosahexaenoic acid …
