Joining Processes: An Introduction

Product Description
Joining Processes An Introduction David Brandon and Wayne D. Kaplan Technion, Israel Institute of Technology, Israel This is an introductory text for students of materials science and engineering interested in the scientific background to the joining and assembly of components in engineering systems. The principles of joining and the common methods employed to achieve a reliable joint are covered in chapters that all conclude with a summary of the points covered, and a set of problems for individual study, or class discussion. In the first chapters, thorough introductory overviews are given of firstly, the mechanical, chemical and physical phenomena related to surfaces, contacts and joins. In subsequent chapters, any necessary metallurgical or chemical background is adequately covered to enable students to understand the basic principles of a variety of joining methods, microelectronic devices and vacuum assemblies. Contents: Introduction; Surface Science; The Mechanics of Joining; Mechanical Bonding; Welding; Weld Metallurgy; Soldering and Brazing; Metal-ceramic Joints and Diffusion Bonding; Adhesives; Vacuum Seals; Micro-electronic Packaging.

Frontiers in Materials Modelling and Design: Proceedings of the Conference on Frontiers in Materials Modelling and Design, Kalpakkam, 20-23 August 1996

Product Description
The subject matter of these proceedings is materials modelling and design, which is a frontier area of research in the development of advanced materials. The proceedings represent an effort to bring together state-of-the-art contributions on several important materials problems covering physics, chemistry, and metallurgy. Theoretical tools such as ab-initio and classical molecular dynamics, Monte Carlo simulations, density functional based electronic structure and finite element calculations have been used to understand materials properties at electronic, atomic, and macroscopic scales.

Particle Size Analysis 1988

Product Description
The study of particle characteristics in terms of size, surface area and shear has attracted widespread interest over many years. Initially the emphasis has been on the instrumentation and measurement of particle size but with the increasing importance of particle characterisation in the fields of chemical processing, metallurgy, pharmaceuticals, food and biological materials, the informational needs have been enlarged and the emphasis has changed to incorporate material parameters other than particle size. The papers are very much concerned with the practical aspects of analysis and useful sections on surface area measurement and presentation and interpretation of data are included. All methods of analysis are covered including electrical sensing, light scattering and spectroscopy.

Nanotechnology for Horology

The principles of augmenting a lubricant for horological applications have many different good reasons. Due to the demands imposed upon clock oils by virtue of the sheer lack of lubricant quantity, the continual exposure to the drying and oxidizing effects of the open air that the lubricants operate in, eventual failure is an inevitability.

Augmentation of a lubricant by incorporating nanotechnology has nothing but a positive impact on it’s performance.

Suspended nanoparticles of tungsten function in a similar fashion to the well – known “moly” additives and graphite used in the past. The scale of the tungsten particles renders them non abrasive and tungsten does not change the metallurgy of the base metals at all. The size of nanoparticles makes the dramatic difference in their ability to actually react on a molecular level compared to moly and graphite.

Nanoparticles have a greater surface area to volume ratio than larger, conventional bits of matter. This allows for more interaction with the metals and the lubricants present.

Surfaces treated with tungsten particles present with less friction under load than ones only exposed to standard lubricants. Clock oils and grease serve not only as lubricants, but when augmented by tungsten nanospheres, serve as a vehicle to transport the tungsten component anywhere friction occurs.

Even when the carrier lubricant fails to function as a lubricant due to oxidation, the tungsten component will still provide lubrication.

The tungsten particles, once exposed to a friction surface, benefit it until it is mechanically abraded away. The pressures endured by horological lubricants do not remove the tungsten component. The tungsten component is rated at 330000 psi.

The quality lubricants used with tungsten nanospheres have a proven record of performance . Adding the tungsten component does not affect the lubricant, just how the friction surfaces interact with each other.

This effect is observed by observing balance action, pendulum motion, noting the “feel” when winding, strike and chime speed, end motion of the different shafts of the movement.

All of these tangible indicators will be noticeably different after exposure to the tungsten component.

Wear is greatly reduced and all aspects of the machines performance are improved.
