Well, colour me pink! That’s how Masterbatch works

02/06/2021

If you’re looking to achieve a splash of colour, texture, or even anti-bacterial properties into your plastic components, chances are your moulder is using masterbatch in the mix.

Is greener innovation in aerospace possible?

02/06/2021

Current legislation, aimed at curbing emissions, is fuelling materials innovation for aerospace components and, as global standards get more stringent, the pace of change is quickening. Now is the time for design engineers to look beyond traditional choices, to prompt radical transition, urges Richard Thompson, Commercial Director of Alvant.

World’s first stainless steel coolant distribution unit for high performance cooling

28/05/2021

A major manufacturer of data centre cooling units had received a request from one of its customers to supply its coolant distribution units (CDUs) with stainless steel pipework instead of the traditional brass or copper.

Photochemical etching: Three reasons to trust it for your next metal component prototype

12/05/2021

Most design engineers trust “traditional” metal machining methods. However, for many industries such as automotive, aerospace, electronics and healthcare, challenges can arise during the machining of complex precision components.

Graphene at cryogenic temperatures is making quantum computing increasingly viable
