• Powering the Future: Induction Technologies to Reduce the Cost of Solar-Grade Silicon (.pdf)
  and construction materials in these furnaces can deliver a power density of about 4 to 7 W/cm 2 of surface area, limiting the heating/ melting rate of silicon.

• Brazing Processes
  Brazing joins parts by heating them to more than 840 F and applying a filler metal that has a melting temperature below that of the base metal. Filler metal flows into the joint by capillary attraction. Brazing has several advantages. Dissimilar metals can be joined. Assemblies can be brazed...
• Simulation Shows How Silicon Solidifies
  the design of the minicaster's hot zone before fabricating its components, we simulated the silicon melting and solidification," says Wang. "We first modeled the furnace in 3D using Autodesk Inventor, then modeled the cross-sectional geometry of the hot zone in multiphysics software." Wang defined...
• Vacuum Brazing of Aluminum Cold Plates and Heat Exchangers
  Vacuum brazing is a high-end joining technology because it results in parts with extremely strong joints and with no residual corrosive flux. It is a process in which two base metals, such as aluminum plates, are joined together using a filler metal that has a melting point below that of the base...
• Advanced ceramics
  toughness, and tailorable properties. Also known as engineered ceramics, these materials are replacing metals in applications where reduced density and higher melting points can increase efficiency and speed of operation. The nature of the bond between ceramic particles helps differentiate engineering...
• Cast Iron
  excellent castability. Their melting temperatures are appreciably lower than those of steel. Molten iron is more fluid than molten steel and less reactive with molding materials. Formation of lower density graphite during solidification makes production of complex shapes possible. Cast irons, however...
• New Way To Make Dense Complex-Shaped Ceramics At Lower Cost
  ; two of Sandhage's former undergraduate students, Matthew Dickerson and Raymond Unocic, won the 2000 National Collegiate Inventors Award for demonstrating that DCP can be used to fabricate composites with ultra-high melting points for applications such as rocket nozzles. Dickerson is now a graduate...
• World's strongest aluminum alloy
  , magnesium and copper are added to strengthen the material. In conventional melting and casting processes, the amount of the alloy elements is increased, and segregation during solidification and coarsening of the material structure result. This limits the amount of the alloy elements. Kobe Steel's...
