Technical Information: IR Heaters for Ultra Pure Water
glass. The liquid to be heated is passed through the enclosing tube so that it is in contact only with the quartz glass of the two tubes. When the heater is switched on, the heat is transmitted directly through the fluid to the gold coating and reflected back into the fluid. As a result, heating

Fusion welding joins dissimilar metals in a flash
using controlled short circuits. Here's a manufacturing challenge: attach a flat gold-plated copper connector to a massive gold-plated copper bus. The obvious approach, mechanical fasteners, tend to be costly and unreliable. Resistance welding won't work and brazing compromises the copper's

SmartMovesTM Spotlights: WET Design (.pdf)
Throughout history, artists have sculpted magnificent works using exotic materials such as bronze, gold and ivory, and some not too exotic materials such as clay, wax and plaster. Some sculpt using wood and plastic, while others take parts from discarded automobiles and machines to create works

Thin-Film Sputtering Deposition Strain Sensors
Many applications use a manufacturing process known as thin-film sputtering deposition. The typical sputtering process uses an ion beam to impact the surface of a sputter material such as gold, silver, or other metal or metallic oxide. In so doing, some of the sputter-material atoms get knocked
