“Our NexGen® System, which is now proven, to the best of our knowledge, has shattered all published plasma atomization system production rates.”

Even if you don’t like No 5 (and many people don’t: smell is a wholly subjective business), you should still respect this remarkable 94-year-old perfume – arguably the most recognisable beauty product of all time. It was created by the extraordinarily clever and talented Russian-French perfumer Ernest Beaux, who made up 10 versions, numbering them one to five and 20-24. Superstitious Coco Chanel chose five, her lucky number. She packaged it in a typically unfussy flacon, inspired by men’s toiletries and adorned with nothing more than a square label and simple type – a pretty subversive move in itself, at a time when luxury perfumes came in big, blowsy balloon-atomisers.

Technologies like MIM which are at a nascent stage, where a metal powder is mixed with binder material to create a feedstock, this technology relies on steel powder as raw material. Steel powder and other metal powder are used to create feedstock for processes like additive manufacturing. This may help propel the steel powder market to a certain extent.

Morgan Advanced Materials is researching new braze alloys that bond metals to ceramics to enable increased operating temperatures within aero-engines.

Gutterhead is a brilliant adults party game that’s a mash up between Pictionary and Cards against humanity.

The basic PM process uses pressure and heat to form precision metal parts and shapes. Powder is compacted (at room temperature) in a rigid precision die at up to 50 tons per square inch into an engineered shape like a gear. Think of 50 compact cars stacked vertically and you have the pressure it takes to press the powder. After parts are compacted and ejected from the die, the part is fed slowly through a special controlled atmosphere furnace to bond particles together. They are metallurgically fused without melting, a phenomenon called “sintering.”

Today’s show saw Elliott getting seven and eight letter words, including unvoiced, parotid – a salivary gland in front of the ear and also Judicare

Although it is most likely to affect people aged over 60, it can also strike much younger people, including athletes who put added stress on their heart.

“At Rosswag Engineering our goal isn’t only to provide our customers with quality products built on metal additive manufacturing machines, rather to help the technology gain acceptance and expand,” stated Gregor Graf, Head of Engineering at Rosswag. “By adding a third selective laser melting system we are able to increase our production capacities and gain more flexibility for demanding material and part qualification processes.”

Steel powder stands at cheaper raw material line in certain regions and are extensively used in powdered metallurgy for multiple processes.
