Our #engineers in the spotlight: How can #steel components for the #aerospace industry be treated so that they do not deform? 🤔 ➡️ Hannes Birkhofer, Process Specialist Heat Treatment at Liebherr-Aerospace Lindenberg (Germany), examined this topic. The object of his research: a thin-walled gear in a geared rotary actuator that moves the flaps on the #wings of an #airplane. The steel from which the gear wheel is made was heated and quenched during the production process to obtain optimal mechanical properties. But could the hot steel be cooled using air instead of oil to improve process control? Numerous #simulations and experiments later, it was clear that slower #cooling by means of air results in less distortion of the component. 📢 Hannes presented the results of his research at the 5th International Conference on Thermal Process Modeling and Simulation (TPMS-5) in Lecce (Italy), organized by the Associazione Italiana di Metallurgia. The study was part of a #BMWK research project (Grant number FKZ 20Y2101A). ✔️ "It was a great opportunity to talk about this topic at ICTPMS," says Hannes. "We at Liebherr-Aerospace are constantly working on improving our processes and methods. This way, we are evolving and can offer our customers even more reliable #solutions." 💪 #liebherr #engineering #innovation

The June 2024 #Buehler #microstructure Calendar Winner is from Frauke Hogue: Hogue Metallography, California, USA. Canyon Diablo Meteorite from the Meteor Crater in Arizona. Etched with Klemm I reagent. The meteorite contains 7.1% Nickel. Kamacite (ferrite) grains colored brown/blue depending on orientation. Taenite (austenite) with higher Ni remains white. The mixture of the two phases is called Plessite. Viewed under bright field illumination at 50x magnification.
