Aluminum production has historically been marred by a high carbon footprint and poor sustainability. Significant steps have been taken in recent years to improve the industry’s green credentials – specifically, those of primary aluminum manufacturing. [...]

High-temperature seals like silicone coated ropes and die-cut gaskets are engineered to guarantee that facilities and individual components comply with regulations regarding emissions, and to protect the component superstructure from damage by process temperatures or [...]

The space race of the 20th Century was catalyzed by the invention of the V-2 rocket which was based on a novel engine system using a liquid-propellant. It was the world’s first long-range, guided ballistic [...]

Despite enormous innovations in the field of aerospace engineering, both manned and unmanned aircraft still manipulate lift and thrust to take off from the ground – with the notable exception of rotorcraft that can lift [...]

Primary aluminum smelting is conducted according to the Hall-Héroult process, which describes the reduction of oxidized aluminum (Al2O3) through electrolysis occurring within an industrial cell. The cell comprises a salt bath where liquidized aluminum is [...]

Airbag fabrics are typically high-strength woven materials that retain their physical integrity against rapid inflation by an inert gas to cushion impacts. Airbags are typically made from woven fabric, which may be coated or uncoated [...]
