Mechanical robustness and deformability of substrate platforms are essential for high-performance stretchable electronics. However, there are still challenges because of rigid island design for device protecting that induces large modulus mismatch and impedes the out-of-plane deformation. Herein, a substrate platform with superb mechanical durability and deformability is newly devised by introducing a multi-layer polymer film (MLPF), where the modulus of each layer was engineered precisely range from 105 to 109 Pa. The modulus-engineered MLPF was integrated monolithically onto various elastomer substrates via sequential film deposition using initiated chemical vapor deposition (iCVD). The developed substrate platform exhibited outstanding robustness against various modes of deformations. Especially the tensile deformation, MLPF structure enhanced mechanical durability by 102 times than a single-layer island structure while keeping the strain on the island below 1 % even with the 99 % of global strain. The developed substrate platform was applied for amorphous Indium-Gallium-Zinc oxide TFT array. The TFT performances were maintained even under 30 % of tensile strain and they were fully retained after 105 times of repeated tensile deformation. The newly suggested substrate platform and design rule of MLPF structure will serve as a guideline for integration of future stretchable/wearable electronics achieving superb mechanical robustness and long-term operation.

Field of Study
Doctor of Philosophy
Interconnects in microelectronic packages and devices serve as the mechanical and electrical connections as well as thermal paths for heat dissipation. Miniaturization of electronic devices demands very high density interconnects and solder bonds with only a few microns of stand-off height. Although Intermetallic compounds (IMCs) are essential to form a reliable joint, large volume ratios of IMCs can be degrading to long term reliability. At very small joints, the volume of IMCs becomes significant, and in some cases, joints may completely transform to IMCs. Furthermore, small joints experience anisotropy due to the fact that all compositions may only contain a few grains. However, very few studies have been conducted to analyze the effect of the IMCs thickness and anisotropy on the mechanical behavior of solder bonds. In this work, these effects are studied through a combination of experiments and finite element simulations. Traditionally, regular finite element (FE) modeling techniques have been used to simulate the solder joints. However, in order to evaluate joint with only a few grains, a more sophisticated modeling of elastic and plastic behavior of grains is needed through crystal plasticity finite element (CPFE) modeling. In this study, CPFE is used to model all materials including solder, IMCs, and Cu in joints with different IMC thicknesses. Nanoindentation experiment on single grains of IMCs and CPFE simulation of the same were combined to obtain slip system parameters of IMCs that are necessary constants for CPFE modeling. Furthermore, the electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) analysis was used to determine the preferred grain growth orientation of Cu6Sn5 IMC on polycrystalline Cu substrate.
A lap-shear experiment was designed and conducted to investigate the effects of the different volume fraction of IMCs on the shear behavior of micro-scale solder joints with a 50µm stand-off height. The local strain was measured using a micro-scale Digital Image Correlation (DIC) technique. This experiment was used to determine the local and global stress-strain behavior of these joints. The joints were tested to failure, and fractography was conducted to determine the failure modes and failure sites.
Comparison between experiment and modeling shows that the CPFE models are successful in capturing the local mechanical behavior of the solder bonds. CPFE models are observed to be more efficient in predicting the local plastic deformation behavior of micro-scale bonds with few grains than the regular FE analysis. Simulation results show that the overall stress distribution and shear deformation changes as the IMC thickness increases. Stiffer response and higher shear yield strength are seen as the IMC thickness increases for both simulation and experiment results. Also, the stress-strain distributions observed in the CPFE analysis performed to mimic the experiment gave a clear idea of the locations of the possible failure sites. Fractography shows failure mode changing from ductile to brittle where crack propagation path is modulated by the different volume fraction of IMCs. A significant influence of Cu3Sn/Cu6Sn5 interfacial morphology on the ultimate shear strength at a higher volume fraction of IMC samples was observed during the lap-shear experiment where planar interfacial morphology promoted lower ultimate shear strength. The effect of different interfacial morphologies on the shear behavior was verified using CPFE simulation. Calculation of the fatigue life indicates that high volume fractions of IMCs could degrade fatigue life of the solder bonds.

Cracking polymer coatings of paper-like surfaces: Control via block structure and
K Hasheminejad and A Scacchi and SJ Nikkhah and M Sammalkorpi, APPLIED SURFACE SCIENCE, 640, 158324 (2023).
Dissipative particle dynamics simulations are employed to examine the self-assembly of a three-component polymeric coating on a hydrophilic surface. The examined suspension is composed of an amphiphilic di-block co-polymer, a hydrophobic polymer, and a hydrophilic stabilizer in water. For technological relevance, the basis hydrophobic and hydrophilic polymer contents correspond to poly(styrene-co-n-butyl acrylate) and to starch, respectively, while the hydrophilic surface resembles unmodified cellulose. We show that the amphiphilic di-block co-polymer is key in controlling the assembling coating structure: symmetric co-polymers form well-ordered lamellar coatings, while asymmetric ones lead to advanced patterning in the film. This response persists over a broad composition range of additional hydrophobic material. We also map the sensitivity of the results to polymer chemistry by variation of the interaction parameters. Finally, we show that the presence of excess free stabilizer in the coating solution can disrupt the homogeneity of the film, potentially deteriorating coating quality in practical applications. The findings stress the importance of block compositions and component concentrations as fundamental means to tune surface coating films and their internal structure.

What Is James Hardie Fiber Cement Siding
While many homeowners choose to install fiber cement siding on their home’s, it remains a bit less popular than vinyl siding, which is due in part to homeowners not understanding exactly how it is made. While everyone knows what vinyl siding is, fiber cement remains a mystery to some homeowners, which curbs their interest in the material. However, its composition is relatively simple, and far more environmentally sustainable than vinyl siding.
Fiber cement siding is built from mostly organic materials. The first step in its construction is to grind silica sand into fine particles. A bit of water is added to the mixture to help reduce the amount of dust that it creates, which is then mostly drained from the material. While this process occurs, wood pulp is mixed together with water to create a thick mixture, which is eventually mixed with silica sand, cement, and additives to increase the strength of the material.
The product is then cut into sheets, pressed with the cedar imprint finish, and then dried at 170 degrees for nine hours to remove the moisture from the product. At this point, the material goes through testing to ensure its durability, and if the boards pass, it is packed and shipped.
Hopefully this provides a bit of insight into how this product is created, and provides you with the answers you’ve been searching for! If you’re ready to install beautiful & durable James Hardie on your Maine home, our team at Oceanside Exteriors is ready to assist! Reach out today to get started, and check out the video below for more information about the construction of James Hardie!

摘要：This paper presents investigations on turning TC4 alloy with PVD TiAlN coated cemented carbide inserts. The turning test was conducted with variable cutting speeds ranging from 80 to 120 m/min. Wear surfaces of the cutting tools are analyzed to study the wear mechanism of PVD TiAlN coated cemented carbide tools in turning of titanium alloy TC4. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Energy Dispersive Spectrometer( EDS) analyses by wear maps indicated that the wear of coated cemented carbide tools was caused by adhesion, coating delamination and mechanical fatigue. The analysis of EDS indicated no oxidation wear generated during the machining. The excellent chemical stability and oxidation resistance performance of TiAlN coating made contribution to prevent oxidation wear.

Formation of Phases in the FePt/Au/FePt Films and their Magnetic Properties
- 7 Downloads
The effect of annealing atmosphere (vacuum, hydrogen) and intermediate Au layer thickness on the formation of a magnetically hard L10 phase and the magnetic properties of Fe50Pt50(15 nm)/Au(7.5, 30 nm)/Fe50Pt50(15 nm) films deposited by magnetron sputtering onto SiO2(100 nm)/Si(001) substrates was studied. Samples were heat-treated in a hydrogen atmosphere at 100 kPa. The disordered A1-FePt phase formed in the as-deposited films. The ordered L10-FePt phase appeared in the film with an intermediate Au (7.5 nm) layer during vacuum annealing at 650°C. Increase in the intermediate Au layer thickness to 30 nm reduces the ordering temperature to 600°C. This is promoted by higher compressive stresses in the as-deposited Fe50Pt50 layers with a thicker Au interlayer. In hydrogen annealing, the A1 → L10-FePt phase transition in the Fe50Pt50(15 nm)/Au(7.5, 30 nm)/Fe50Pt50(15 nm) films starts at 500°C regardless of the intermediate Au layer thickness. The Au and FePt axial (111) textures are observed in the films annealed in hydrogen. This is more evident in the films with a thicker Au (30 nm) interlayer. The film with an intermediate Au (30 nm) layer shows 27.3 kOe coercivity after vacuum annealing at 900°C. The same coercivity can be achieved by hydrogen annealing at 700°C, which is 200°C lower than after vacuum annealing due to the introduction of hydrogen into voids of the L10-FePt lattice and increase of stresses.

The main component of fluorite ore is calcium fluoride, which is an important raw material for the fluorine chemical industry. So what is the fluorite ore processing equipment? What is the processing plant? Fluorite ore has a specific gravity of 3.0-3.3 and good natural floatability. The mainly separation method is flotation and gravity separation. The flotation method is mainly used to produce high-quality chemical grade fluorite powder; the gravity separation method is mainly used to produce coarse-grained metallurgical grade fluorite concentrate.
Fluorite ore processing equipment:
The fluorite ore processing production line has undergone stages of crushing, screening, grinding and classifying, gravity separation, flotation and drying. The main equipment include jaw crusher, ball mill, spiral classifier, jig machine, flotation machine, mixing tank, dryer, thickener, vibrating feeder, belt conveyor and other equipment. Among them, the flotation machine and jig machine are the key equipment in the fluorite ore processing plant, used to separate the fluorite concentrate.
Introduction of fluorite ore processing plant:
Fluorite is brittle and fragile. In the crushing process, hammer crusher or impact crusher should be used as little as possible; jaw crusher is mainly used for coarse crushing. The coarsely crushed materials enter the trammel screen, after the screen it will separate out 30+ mm, 0-8mm, 8-30mm three size materials, and the 30+ mm materials enter the manual belt conveyor for hand separation, manual separation is the process of manually separating fluorite lump ores by observing the difference between fluorite and waste rock. Due to the labor intensity of workers and unstable sorting indicators, manual separation has rarely been used. The ore is crushed until the jig is effectively put into the classifier for re-selection and purification. The 0-8mm and 8-30mm materials can be separated into trapezoidal jig machine and large particle jig machine, and the final concentrate is mixed with the hand-separated concentrate as a metallurgical-grade fluorite ore, the tailings enter the flotation process after dewatering.
The flotation process is divided into grinding, classifying, agitating, flotation and other processes. Due to the high requirements for concentrate grades, multiple flotation concentration separations more than 6 times, and the fluorite floatability is relatively good, usually only one scanning separation is required. Fluorite ore flotation adopts heating flotation; the main agents used are shale oil, oxidized paraffin soap and so on.
Fluorite ore is brittle and fragile. It is easy to produce many high-grade powdery ores during crushing, and there will be some loss in the process of gravity separation and manual separation. Therefore, the gravity separation and manual separation of fluorite ore tailings are often go to the flotation process to improve the concentrate grades. At the same time, the economic benefits are maximized.

Basics of Concrete|Aggregate
The term "aggregate" denotes a wide range of granular materials that may be used
in the production of concrete, such as:
These are basically divided into two categories: Fine Aggregate and Coarse Aggregate
based upon their particle size.
Fine Aggregates consist of particles smaller than 1/4", usually sand or crushed stone
Coarse Aggregates are those with particle sizes larger than 1/4"
Aggregates make up 60% to 80% of the concrete volume

Overview: Surface-applied cementitious or admix waterproofing material for concrete
Product Description: Penetron is a surface-applied, integral crystalline waterproofing
material, which waterproofs and protects concrete in-depth.
It consists of Portland cement, specially treated quartz sand and a compound of active
chemicals. Penetron has no added solvents minimising net VOC emissions.
When product is applied onto a concrete surface, the active chemicals combine with
the free lime and moisture present in the capillary tracts of the concrete to form
an insoluble, crystalline structure.
These crystals fill the pores and minor shrinkage cracks in the concrete to prevent
any further water ingress (even under pressure). The concrete dries out but remains
vapour permeable, preventing the growth of toxic mould in enclosed spaces.
It can also seal cracks of up to 1/64’’ (0.4mm) rather than masking or bridging them.
It also protects the concrete against seawater, wastewater, aggressive ground water
and many other aggressive chemical solutions.
Penetron is approved for use in contact with potable water and is therefore suitable
for use in water storage tanks, reservoirs and water treatment plants.

Heat loss is a growing concern for most UK homes and businesses, especially with average energy bills expected to rise over £1500 year-on-year. While households are waiting for the government pledge of £6.6bn in renewed insulation initiatives, improving energy efficiency and reducing carbon footprints should involve prompt action.
Often, heating makes up well over half of the cost of energy bills. The good news is this can be reduced with simple measures. Roofs account for approximately a quarter of the heat lost, walls almost a half, and floors and windows roughly 15 percent each.
Determining the problem areas in each home and installing some form of insulation can drastically lower costs.
What Are Your Options?
When it comes to insulation, I’ve come to learn that the products and materials available offer a range of qualities to consider. You’ll want to think about factors like thermal efficiency, moisture resistance, fire protection, soundproofing, durability, and sustainability.
Traditional choices are fiberglass and mineral wool blankets and batts often seen in ceilings and floors, loose-fill and blown-in insulation in walls, ceilings, and lofts, and spray-foam insulation that is highly effective in walls, under flooring, and in roofs.
Rigid foam insulation has been extensively used since the 1970s, offering high thermal efficiency in various applications and a host of favorable properties, such as fire resistance, good structural rigidity, and being (mostly) eco-friendly.
The compactness of the insulation boards on the market means they can be thinner than other options, so I back them as a great choice for tight spaces.
The Basics of Insulation Foam Boards
Rigid foam boards are rugged, dense panels made of closed-cell foam. The closed-cell construction makes them particularly strong, durable, and with very high thermal efficiency. The R-value of the material is what represents its thermal efficiency.
They fare much better in this respect than the open-cell structure of other insulation materials. Homes and businesses with insulation foam panels can significantly reduce gas and electricity bills and maintain more warmth.
They also help protect areas against excessive noise, prevent moisture and reduce the risk of fires.
(If you want to be familiar with all woodworking terms, check this glossary with detailed definitions and images.)
There are several types of insulation boards. Each is made of different materials in slightly different ways, lending them specific qualities. This will determine the type you choose for your insulating needs and the total cost you pay.
Expanded polystyrene (EPS), often known as beadboard, is made by heating polystyrene foam beads. The applied heat or steam with pentane as a blowing agent causes the beads to fuse, creating an efficient closed-cell structure.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting – EPS is essentially 98% air and only 2% polystyrene. The trapped air is a poor heat conductor and gives the foam excellent thermal insulation properties.
In terms of thermal efficiency, it holds its own with an R-value of 4 per 25mm thickness, right up there with rigid fiberglass and far superior to mineral wool or fiberglass batts. Boards can come in higher density and facer/backer material, increasing thermal resistance.
The foam also exhibits good mechanical strength (impact resistant), doesn’t deform over time, has extremely-low levels of water absorption, isn’t affected by chemicals, and is generally weather resistant. With added fire retardants, EPS also meets fire standards as it has very low ignitability and doesn’t spread flames.
The low cost makes EPS a popular choice when insulating virtually any area in homes and buildings. EPS insulation boards are not only cost-effective but also easy to install, providing a durable and long-lasting solution for thermal insulation needs. But if you’re after the best possible performance, other options are available.
XPS, or extruded polystyrene (aka Styrofoam), is a similar product but differs in the way it’s made. It is manufactured by liquifying polystyrene pellets, injecting a blowing agent, usually Freon, and mixing with additives under pressure. When the product cools, it creates a closed rigid cell foam.
The production process lends XPS more compressive strength and higher density than EPS, which is preferable in flooring applications. It also has better water resistance making it ideal for roof and external wall insulation.
When it comes to thermal efficiency, XPS doesn’t disappoint either. It boasts an R-value of 5 for the same 25mm thickness, which means you can get away with a thinner construction while still enjoying top-notch insulation. Now, the trade-off here is that these superior qualities often come with a slightly higher price tag, but in my experience, it’s usually worth the investment, especially when you’re looking for top-notch performance in specific applications.
PUR and PIR
PUR or rigid polyurethane insulation panels are made using crude oil derivatives, polyols, and isocyanates with blowing agents and other additives. When mixed, the ingredients react and foam. PUR panels have high insulation performance due to the rigid, closed cell structure, comprising 97% trapped gas and 3% polymers.
The production of PIR or polyisocyanurate is similar but uses different blowing agents at higher temperatures. Both are thermoset plastic panels with very high R-values (6 for PUR and 7 for foil-faced PIR boards).
Now, here’s the deal – PIR seems like a real upgrade from its PUR cousin, faring better in almost every aspect. In addition, no ozone-depleting CFCs are found in PIR panels, making this an eco-friendly alternative.
PIR panels have very high compressive strength and impact resistance, comparable to high-density XPS, excellent fire resistance (one of the highest among all insulative materials), and don’t spread flames or smoke. They are also used with facer and backer foils as a water or moisture barrier.
The boards are ideal for insulating wall cavities, slanted and flat roofs, basements, and in different types of floors. The high thermal efficiency allows for thinner boards where space is limited (solid concrete floors).

Buyers will also find insulated plasterboard with a PIR core bonded to gypsum plasterboard. This can be used in insulating internal walls, pitched roofs, and lofts. All in all, PIR panels check off a lot of boxes when it comes to insulation.
What to Look For?
When it comes to insulation rigid foam panels, I’ve got hands-on experience that can shed some light. These panels are all about their thermal resistance and high R-values, and they do come with some other perks that make them a versatile choice. In terms of thermal efficiency, they need to have the right thickness. And this affects the price.
Similar thermal efficiency and R-values, for instance, can be achieved with a 50mm PIR and a 100mm EPS. And both will have a similar price. The limiting factor here is how much space is available.
A savvy move, if you have the room for it, is to go for the thickest panels possible. This not only supercharges your insulation performance but also chips away at those energy bills.
Speaking of costs, EPS panels usually win the affordability game, followed by XPS, with PUR and PIR panels often coming in at a higher price point. While price differences may be smaller for the same thickness, this adds up when insulating larger areas.
A side benefit is that all panels come in the standard building sizes (1200mm by 2400mm), are lightweight (considering they’re mostly air), are easily manageable, and installation can be a DIY project using minimal tools or safety gear, considering woodworking safety rules. Additional gear like foils and adhesives are also cheap.
One area where the different panels perform quite distinctly is fire resistance and flame propagation. Homes and commercial properties that need to meet strict fire standards are advised to use PIR insulation with appropriate foils.
Lastly, make sure to source insulation boards from respected and established brands. Some popular insulation names in the UK include Kingspan, Ecotherm, Quinn, Mannok, and others. All have extensive lineups to insulate floors, roofs, ceilings, lofts, walls, and flooring.

Magnetically responsive photonic nanostructures
Self-assembled nanostructures offer rapid, reversible tuning over the entire visible spectrum using external magnetic fields.
5 May 2011, SPIE Newsroom. DOI: 10.1117/2.1201104.003672
Responsive photonic crystals (RPCs) are appealing because their diffraction wavelengths and color emission can be controlled by external stimuli—for example, temperature or pressure—rather than modifying the material itself. This feature is well suited to applications such as color displays, bio- and chemical sensors, security devices, printing and labeling systems, and military camouflage. However, challenges—such as narrow tunability of the band gap, slow response to external stimuli, irreversibility, and difficult integration into existing photonic systems—affect the performance of some RPCs. To address these concerns, we recently reported that highly charged, uniform superparamagnetic (SPM) colloids can self-assemble in ordered arrays. Our colloidal assemblies are reversibly color-tunable across the entire visible spectrum, under the influence of external magnetic fields.1,2 Here, we provide an overview of our recent advances in magnetically responsive photonic nanostructures.
Figure 1. (A) Schematic showing the assembly of negatively charged magnetite colloidal nanocrystal clusters (CNCs) in water in response to an external magnetic field, where repulsive electrostatic forces balance magnetic attraction. (B) Scanning electron micrograph of CNC chains embedded in a polymer matrix. Photograph (C) and reflection spectra (D) of colloidal crystals assembled in water in response to an external magnetic field (decreasing in strength from left to right). H: Magnetic field. R: Reflectance. λ: Wavelength of light.
We began by developing a robust procedure for preparing magnetite (Fe3O4) colloidal nanocrystal clusters (CNCs) with uniform size (∼30–180nm).3 Our procedure relies on control of the sodium hydroxide concentration, which initiates primary nanocrystal nucleation from an aqueous iron salt solution. The particles then aggregate uniformly into larger, secondary structures that retain their SPM property at room temperature, but show higher saturation of magnetization. We coated our magnetite CNCs with polyacrylate, which rendered the particle surfaces highly charged. The ensuing repulsive electrostatic force balanced the magnetically induced attractive force,4,5 which promoted self-assembly of the SPM particles into linear chains with periodic interparticle spacing: see Figure 1(A).1,2 We confirmed the periodicity by solidifying the structures in a polymer matrix and then imaging with scanning electron microscopy: see Figure 1(B).6 Bragg diffraction (i.e., the process that produces color in crystalline materials) occurs when the periodicity of the particles matches the wavelength of incident light. We can change the periodicity of the assemblies—and the subsequent color—by manipulating the strength of the external magnetic field. We also sought to manipulate these particles in nonpolar solvents to generalize the approach for a variety of chemical environments. However, nonpolar solvents cannot accommodate charge separation and thus impede self-assembly of charged particles. Accordingly, we coated the Fe3O4 particles with a silica layer onto which we grafted a monolayer of alkoxysilanes using a silylation reaction to render them soluble in nonpolar phases.7 We found that charge control agents re-established long-range electrostatic repulsion in the solution, and permitted particle organization.8
We identified a number of unique features of our RPCs that may address the challenges encountered in conventional systems, which use hydrodynamic flow, electrophoretic deposition, electrostatic interactions, or capillary, gravitational, and centrifugal forces to assemble colloidal particles into ordered crystals. First, self-assembly can be initiated and completed almost instantly by applying external magnetic fields. Second, the diffraction wavelength can be tuned by controlling the strength of the magnetic field: see Figure 1(C) and (D). We have shown that colors across the entire visible spectrum can be obtained. Third, the optical response to changes in the external magnetic field is instantaneous and fully reversible. Fourth, assembly does not require stringent conditions, such as the special setups, devices, controlled humidity, or gaseous environments required in many conventional assembly processes. Also, the high refractive index of magnetite (∼2.42) creates high contrast with the surrounding medium. Thus, even at low particle concentrations of several milligrams per milliliter, we can obtain high diffraction intensities. Next, the instant assembly and tuning enable large-scale production, provided an appropriately sized, uniform magnetic field is used. Finally, it is possible to produce multicolored patterns using magnetic fields of defined size to locally induce particle assembly.
With these characteristics in mind, many color-related applications are possible, such as color displays. We constructed a solid film with magnetically responsive colors by encapsulating our SPM particles in the form of microdroplets.9 The SPM particles assembled into ordered structures in the presence of a magnetic field, where each droplet behaved as a small photonic crystal capable of diffracting light. The magnetic alignment allowed light diffraction by the droplets at the same wavelength—displaying uniform color—perceivable by the human eye.
Since our magnetic RPCs allow instant color creation, they are also useful for direct color printing. For example, we formulated a magnetic ‘ink’ by dispersing magnetite CNCs in the liquid precursor of a UV-curable resin.10 We tuned the periodicity by varying the strength of the external magnetic field and produced multiple colors from a single ink. Once we obtained the desired color, we applied UV radiation to rapidly polymerize the resin. This not only fixed the position of SPM particles but also allowed retention of the diffraction color. This magnetic assembly followed by UV immobilization can be accomplished within seconds, which is a significant advantage over traditional methods for generating structural colors. Additionally, this printing method can be applied to uneven surfaces. We also showed high resolution patterning of multiple structural colors using a spatially modulated focused UV beam as the ‘printing’ tool, with a mixture of SPM particles and UV-curable resin as the ink.11 We micropatterned different structural colors and geometries by repeating the tuning and fixing process.
In summary, the unique features of magnetic RPCs, such as rapid switching, full reversibility, and wide tunability, lend themselves to a range of different color display systems. Potential applications include dynamic displays suitable for antifraud devices, rewritable photonic paper, and full-color, high-resolution printing systems. Our future developments will extend to areas such as bio- and chemical sensors, color-switchable paints, and video display devices.

Aluminum is one of the most used metals in today’s society – New Aluminium Windows in Sandton it can be found across a number of industries, such as construction and commercial, and in a number of applications, such as beverage cans and appliances. When choosing a manufacturer of aluminium extrusion for supplying the metal that you use in your workplace, however, it is important that you carefully consider which one will be best for your needs.
The manufacturer will begin by removing the aluminium from deep within the earth’s crust (either as bauxite ore or feldspar). Often, the Bayer’s method, Wohler’s method or Hall Heroult method is chosen to remove the metal in its molten form. It is then hardened and moulded into whatever shape the manufacturer desires. When the aluminium is extracted from the earth in its solid form, Aluminium Sliding Doors Sizes it will be passed through a number of mechanical processes that are designed to give the metal its desired shape. These processes include: rolling, drawing, forging, spinning, piercing and extrusion.
Regardless of whether aluminium has been found in its molten or solid form, the manufacturer will then pass it through either a hot working or cold working process to prepare it for their customers. When using the hot working process (the most popular of the two), a billet will be heated to a temperature of over 79 degrees Celsius, which will allow the aluminium to be easily distorted and placed into its desired shape.
The reason for the popularity of the hot working process over the cold working one can be fully realized when you compare aluminium extrusion to squeezing toothpaste out of its tube. It is much easier to extrude the metal when it is malleable, meaning that it must have been heated to a certain temperature.
Finally, the aluminium will pass through an extrusion and drawing process that runs almost parallel to each other. This is the final step in the whole extrusion process and is the step that gives the metal its entire shape. Deep drawing, for example, is used give the metal a cup, conical tapered, cylinder and seamless tube shape. For less curved shapes, Aluminium Windows Sizes And Prices the drawing process is skipped.
Once you are satisfied with the processes and methods utilized by a potential manufacturer of aluminium extrusions, you can begin submitting your orders with them. If, after your first delivery, you are still satisfied with the manufacturer based on the promptness of the order being filled and the quality of the aluminium that you receive, you can continue the relationship.
New Aluminium Windows in Sandton?Build a new house or renovate an existing one but use only Aluminium for windows for your home. Aluminium has several properties that make it the ideal choice material for door and window frames. Just survey new houses being built and you will find that Aluminium is used for windows and doors. Take a look at renovations in old buildings and you will find Aluminium is the most widely used material for window frames.
Aluminium does not rust like steel tends to do and it is not susceptible to mildew, rot, fungus or termite attacks like wood. uPVC may not have the same strength that Aluminium has. Aluminium, whether it is plain anodized or powder coated, will last for decades when used for window frames. Aluminium has structural rigidity and it will not deform over time. Windows open and close smoothly for years when they make use of Aluminium for the frames.
Aluminium can be extruded in a variety of profiles with varying widths and thicknesses to suit design needs.There are profiles that can suit double or triple glazing. When one talks of double glazing, using Aluminium windows with internal blinds is gaining in popularity due to inherent advantages. Aluminium can be used in contemporary homes or in traditional houses with profiles suitably chosen to suit the aesthetics of exteriors and interiors. Aluminium is available in a range of anodized finishes and metallic shades ranging from natural white to satin brown and even gold and blue if so desired. Besides, it can be powder coated in a variety of colors. It is also possible to apply foil with a natural woodgrain finish to simulate the look of wood.
Aluminium is widely used in windows and doors as the best material for framing and this has given rise to availability of matching hardware in the form of hinges, slides, seals and locks. Hardware blends in with the frame and presents a harmonized appearance. When you order windows with internal blinds, it is easier for the soppier to obtain matching hardware and custom manufacture windows that will fit perfectly and work flawlessly.
If you have existing windows with single glazing and wish to make the switch to double glazed window panes with internal blinds, the supplier, in all probability, will use Aluminium as the frame to hold the glass panes in place. Such retrofits blend in with the existing framework without looking out of place.
Then there are other considerations such as Aluminium being more environment-friendly and recyclable should you wish to dispose off the windows and put in new ones at some time in the future. Your steel or wood window frames will not fetch the same price. Aluminium is light in weight and does not impose a structural load on the building. It can be used in brick and mortar houses as well as in houses made with timber. Choose aluminium and you will never have cause to regret your decision.
Why You Should Choose Aluminium Windows for Your HomeDrink cans are among the most well known forms of aluminium packaging in Australia today. Chances are, you currently have at least a few of them in your home. One of the reasons they are so ubiquitous is because they are so easy to recycle. Another reason is that they are very convenient and inexpensive to produce. You can learn more about aluminium packaging in Australia by reading on below.
Aluminium Recycling in Australia -
Aluminium is one of the most recycled materials in Australia. That is one of the main reasons why so many packaging suppliers are fond of using it. In 2002 alone, more than 31,000 tonnes of aluminium cans were recycled in Australia. That is the same as approximately 2 billion drink cans. Plastic food packaging may be popular, but aluminium is definitely high up on the list as well - especially thanks to aluminium drink cans.
Aluminium: The Gift That Keeps On Giving -
One of the most extraordinary things about recycling aluminium is that it can be done over and over again. In other words, you can recycle the same piece of aluminium an infinite number of times. For that reason, although more than 680 million tonnes of aluminium has been produced on the planet since the 1880s, nearly 440 million tonnes of it is still being used today. Aluminium is great because it doesn't have to be wasted, and it helps keep the planet and the environment cleaner and more sustainable in the long run.
Recycling Aluminium is Energy Efficient -
Only 5% of the energy that is used to produce aluminium cans from scratch is needed to produce aluminium cans from recycled materials. That is a huge amount of saved energy, and it's another reason why aluminium is being turned to by more and more people. For every one can that is produced from raw materials, twenty can be produced from recycled materials. The simple act of recycling one aluminium can saves the energy that is needed to run a television set for three straight hours; that should put things in perspective a bit.
Aluminium: A Natural Choice -
Packaging suppliers have been improving on the design of things like aluminium cans for some time now. Within the last thirty years, for example, the weight of an aluminium can has been reduced by more than thirty percent. This lightweight construction allows us to use a lot less aluminium, which helps us save and conserve a lot more of it as well. As time goes on, there is no question that aluminium will continue to be one of the most relied-upon materials in the world of packaging. The next time you're tempted to throw away that aluminium can, think twice.

Introducing photochromic or polymeric dopants into nematic liquid crystals is a well-established method to create stimuli-responsive photonic materials with the ability to "control light with light". Herein, we demonstrate a new material design concept by showing that specific supramolecular interactions between the host liquid crystal and the guest dopants enhance the optical performance of the doped liquid crystals. By varying the type and strength of the dopant-host interaction, the phase-transition temperature, the order parameter of the guest molecules, and the diffraction signal in response to interference irradiation, can be accurately engineered. Our concept points out the potential of supramolecular interactions in liquid-crystal photonics, being valuable for optimizing the design of dye-doped functional liquid-crystalline systems.

2. The radius of the clip is R, the distance from the top of the clip to the ground of the pulling rod is B and the hole of the pulling rod, all of them are selected according to the diameter of the wire in the parameter table. The radius of the circular arc is printed on the upper part of each clip for selection. The distance b is obtained by the position of the lever which adjusted by the single hole on the rocker arm. It is 35, 50, 75 from bottom to top, and the rod hole φ can be distinguished according to the number printed around the drawing bar.
3. There are four vertical holes on the main pulling rod. The hole position you need can be obtained by adjusting the direction of the pull rod. When using the hole at one end of the thread, the axle sleeve should be used. When using the other hole, the axle sleeve should be removed to ensure that the wire is in the bending center line.
4. As the starting state of the test, the rocker arm is in the vertical position. It will first penetrate into the top, and the upper clamping part of the wire is clamped by rotating the upper chuck handle to test the performance of the wire bending machine.
5. Press the upper grip down with a handle and stop it after the upper grip almost moved down 15--25mm, (the distance of the thick wire should be longer, so that the wire has a pulling force which is about 15-25 kg) then turn the main clip handle to clamp the lower end of the wire and bend it.
6. During the bending test, uniform speed should be used (about 1 times/sec).
7. The bending count bents 90 degrees to the right from the starting position of the return. The sample returns to the starting position for the first time and then bends 90 degrees to the left. Then the sample returns to the starting position for the second time. After the sample is broken, the final bending is not counted.
8. After long-term use, the clip should be replaced if there is a pressure mark on the arc surface of the clip.
9. Oil cup and its relative lubricated place should be frequently rubbed and kept lubricated. Bending steel bar bending machine makes it become a standard wire bending machine repeatedly. Wire bending machine should be always tested so that it could be a standard wire bending machine.
