source:KeAi Communications Co.The hot-end components of high-performance high-speed aircraft need to meet performance requirements such as long service life, wide temperature range oxidation resistance and ablation resistance. This puts forward higher requirements for high-temperature service performance of thermal protection system (TPS).With low density, low expansion and excellent high temperature mechanical properties, carbon-carbon (C/C) composites are expected to be the best choice for the new generation of TPS. However, the oxidation sensitivity of C/C composites severely limits their s...

source:the armchair traderThe spotlight often falls on renewable technologies like solar panels and wind turbines in the quest for a sustainable and clean energy future. However, the true heroes behind these innovations are the materials that make them possible.Iridium and rare-earth elements (REEs) play a crucial, albeit less talked about, role in this transition.Iridium, a member of the platinum group metals, is essential for the efficiency of hydrogen fuel cells and electrolysers. Meanwhile, rare-earth elements, despite their name, are relatively abundant and are vital in manufacturing high...
