Aluminium Foam Production Process Aluminium foam is a lightweight, sponge-structured metal that can absorb sound and impact energy. It is a very strong material for structural use. Therefore, it has been widely used in various industries such as automotive, construction, military, machinery and furniture. However, this material has never been used in Thailand because […]
Use of Knowledges in Materials Science, Design and Engineering to Solve Problems in the Plastics Industry. Background Enhancing the plastics industry’s competitiveness is essential. MTEC emphasizes on research and development (R&D) through building industrial knowledge of human resources related to development of production process, and design for cost reduction. The activities encompass an effective improvement […]
Robotic System for Automatic Weld Overlay Cladding Application Background Traditionally, the maintenance of deteriorated power plant parts depends on the skill of cladding welders; however, the highly-trained welders are critically scarce in the current labor force. Furthermore, the maintenance welding process is typically labor-intensive and time-consuming. The work quality based on human workers could be […]
Development on the Prototyping Process of Conversion of Aluminum Dross Background Aluminum casting industry use fluxes to clean the molten aluminum. After this process, the hot dross is skimmed off inside the furnaces. The salt slag is formed during aluminum extraction in the hot dross. The factories typically disposed of the salt slag to the […]
Background Standard Unit Supply (Thailand) Co., Ltd. (SUS) would like to investigate its compaction and sintering process to improve the slightly low corrosion resistance in some of its products. Prior to working with MTEC, SUS had consulted domestic and international experts but no practical solution could be found. Objective To improve the sintering process to […]
