A team from the University of New South Wales School of Photovoltaic and Renewable Energy Engineering has reinvented the design of screen-printed contacts to reduce costs and silver consumption, ...

With its thick, inedible peel and large pit, up to 30% of each avocado is wasted. Sodium-ion batteries using hard carbon electrodes derived from avocado waste are potentially a more sustainable ...

The P series benchtop X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopy instrument quantifies deposits of zinc-nickel, titanium-cadmium, electroless nickel, tin-lead, ruthenium alloys, and other materials used in ...

Hofmann’s rack plating line is capable of plating long items (up to 130” in length). In addition to zinc plating, Hofmann also manufactures and fabricates welded steel tubing and powder coats ...

Zinc-based aqueous battery chemistries allow for attractive cost and energy densities, but are susceptible to zinc dendrite formation during plating and internal shorting. Here, the authors show ...

Since mid-1982, cent planchets have been composed of zinc electroplated with copper. Errors associated with this process include plating that is absent, partial, blistered, cracked, peeling ...

Since their introduction in 1982, the copper-plated zinc planchets used for Lincoln cents have been affected by a wide variety of plating defects. Plating that is poorly bonded to the zinc core ...

Post-1982 pennies are made of copper-plated zinc, so if you sand off the copper plating on one side of them, and combine them with solid copper pre-1982 pennies, you have both metals needed to ...

Engineered plastic cooling towers are transforming the industry, eliminating the problems that plague galvanized metal cooling towers - corrosion, leakage, maintenance costs and process disruptions ...

An example of these new components is a wide range of fiber-optic EMI adapters using zinc die-cast construction with nickel-plating and conductive EMI gaskets. EMI gaskets minimize EMI/RFI leakage by ...
