Each year, Chemical & Engineering News (C&EN), a publication of the American Chemistry Society, recaps the most exciting research trends in chemistry and look ahead. In its recent webinar, “Predicting the Biggest Chemistry Advances of 2019”, C&EN’s...
Argon demand has been growing very strongly over the past few years with key markets like fabricated metals, stainless steel, and electronics showing solid growth as the US economy improved and President Donald Trump’s tariffs...
High purity argon (better than 99.999%) is used as a shield gas in the production of silicon ingots, to be fabricated into wafers, for solar cells and micro-electronic devices. Argon is used to control the...
Reproducible quality of powder-metal 3D printed parts is essential for advanced aerospace, automotive and medical applications. Yet aluminum and titanium alloys are extremely sensitive to oxygen and humidity.
Fortunately for those who rely on National Aerospace and Defense Contractors Accreditation Program (Nadcap) welding using argon, a 2018 shortage in that supply of gas appears to be over.
Liquid argon, and lots of it, will be pivotal in the ground-breaking Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE), which gathers pace at two US locations in 2019.
In North America and Europe, it is calculated buildings consume a staggering 40% of the primary energy consumption. However, this figure can significantly be reduced if the buildings are purposefully designed, constructed and used with...
Expansion is in KOBELCO Compressors America, Inc.’s (KCA) DNA. In 2011, the company opened a new state of the art compressor manufacturing facility in Corona, California, which enabled the company to significantly ramp up production.
Last year marked the 150th year since the discovery of helium, with celebrations at the Helium Time Columns Monument in Amarillo, Texas, at the end of September.
Dedicated to finding new sources of helium to serve the growing needs of the technology and space exploration industries, North American Helium, Inc. was founded in 2013.
