Conductive fillers in polymer powder, like copper spheres and flakes, influence Additive Manufacturing processes. Learn how laser flash analysis allows determination of process setting to print highest quality parts.
The build orientation of samples has an effect on the mechanical properties of Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) parts. Therefore, thermophysical properties need to be assessed in different directions. Learn how to prepare filled samples for laser flash analysis!
Regierungen haben strenge Vorschriften erlassen, um den Ausstoß von Kohlenstoff zu reduzieren. Daher wird viel Aufwand in die Entwicklung von Materialien mit sehr niedriger Wärmeleitfähigkeit investiert, um den Markt mit noch besseren Wärmedämmstoffen zu versorgen. Machen Sie sich ein Bild davon, wie die NETZSCH HFM 446 Lambda Eco-Reihe die genaue und schnelle Bestimmung der Wärmeleitfähigkeit und des thermischen Widerstands ermöglicht!
NETZSCH Instruments North America is hosting the combined 35th International Thermal Conductivity Conference and 23rd International Thermal Expansion Symposium in Boston Massachusetts, USA. Due to the Covid pandemic, the ITCC board has decided to postpone the event until 2022!
Governments set strict building insulation regulations in place to reduce carbon emissions. Consequently, a lot of effort goes into the engineering of materials with very low thermal conductivity to supply the market with even better thermal insulation materials. Learn how the NETZSCH HFM 446 Lambda Eco-Line allows accurate and fast determination of thermal conductivity and thermal resistance!
Filler type, filler content and filler orientation: everything plays a role when it comes to tailoring thermal conductivity of polymers for specific applications, such as in the well-known field of Metal Replacement. Read how our customer DOMO Engineering Materials uses our instrument to research conductive raw materials.
Additive Manufacturing (AM) encompasses a variety of technologies suitable for producing components from liquid, solid or powder feedstocks. Selective Laser Melting (SLM), a powder-bed fusion process, has become a commonly used AM process for rapid prototyping and component manufacturing using metals, alloys and, to a lesser extent, ceramics. Learn more about SLM, suitable materials and how to optimize input parameters for improved product quality using Thermal Analysis.
Submit your abstract for the International Thermal Conductivity Conference (ITCC) 2021 in Boston! NETZSCH is inviting all partners, customers and scientists working in the field of thermal conductivity to send their abstracts dealing with new developments in theory, analysis, simulation and modelling, experimentation, demonstration, and case studies.
Building regulations in various countries require minimum thermal conductivity (U-values) for different parts of a new building. This refers to anything from external walls, floors, roofs, windows and doors. Guarded Hot Plates (GHPs) determine these important values. Read here how!
The heat flow meter (HFM) method is mainly used to test thermal conductivity and thermal resistance of insulation samples. It is not an absolute method, therefore, the heat flow meter output needs to be calibrated with a standard material. NETZSCH-Gerätebau GmbH has recently qualified its own factory standard for calibration and validation of heat flow … Read more
