Product Details:

Thorium was discovered by Jöns Jacob Berzelius, a Swedish chemist, in 1828. He discovered it in a sample of a mineral that was given to him by the Reverend Has Morten Thrane Esmark, who suspected that it contained an unknown substance. Esmark's mineral is now known as thorite (ThSiO₄). Thorium makes up about 0.0007% of the earth's crust and is primarily obtained from thorite, thorianite (ThO₂) and monazite ((Ce, La, Th, Nd, Y)PO₄).

 

Thorium is used as an alloying agent to improve magnesium's strength at high temperatures. Thorium is also used to coat tungsten filaments used in electronic devices, such at television sets. When bombarded with neutrons, thorium-232 becomes thorium-233, which eventually decays into uranium-233 through a series of beta decays. Uranium-233 is a fissionable material and can be used as a nuclear fuel.

 

Thorium oxide (ThO₂), one of thorium's compounds, has many uses. It is primarily used in a type of lantern mantel known as a Welsbach mantle. This mantle, which also contains about 1% cerium oxide, glows with a bright white light when it is heated in a gas flame. Thorium oxide has a very high melting point, about 3300°C, and is used to make high temperature crucibles. Thorium oxide is also used to make glass with a high index of refraction that is used to make high quality camera lenses. Thorium oxide is used as a catalyst in the production of sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄), in the cracking of petroleum products and in the conversion of ammonia (NH₃) to nitric acid (HNO₃).

 

Thorium's most stable isotope, thorium-232, has a half-life of about 14,050,000,000 years. It decays into radium-228 through alpha decay or decays through spontaneous fission.

316L Stainless Steel Powder: A Versatile Material for Additive Manufacturing and Metal Injection Moulding

In this blog, we will introduce 316L powder, a type of metal powder that has many applications in different industries. We will explain what 316L powder is, what are its main properties. Advantages of using 316L powder in AM. We will also discuss how 316L powder can be used in additive manufacturing and metal injection moulding,

What is 316L Stainless Steel Powder?

316L powder is a metal powder that consists of fine particles of 316L grade stainless steel. 316L grade stainless steel is an austenitic stainless steel with low carbon content and high corrosion resistance. It also has good weldability, formability, and ductility. 316L grade stainless steel is one of the most common stainless steels used in various applications, such as chemical processing, food processing, pharmaceutical, marine, biomedical, and more.

316L powder can be produced by various methods, such as gas atomization, water atomization, plasma atomization, or mechanical milling. The size and shape of the powder particles can vary depending on the production method and the desired properties. The typical particle size range of 316L powder is from 10 to 150 microns, and the typical shape is spherical or irregular.

The main properties of 316L stainless steel powder

• Chemical composition: The chemical composition of 316L stainless steel powder is similar to that of 316L grade stainless steel. It contains about 16-18% chromium, 10-14% nickel, 2-3% molybdenum, and less than 0.03% carbon. It also contains small amounts of manganese, silicon, phosphorus, sulfur, nitrogen, and iron.
• Physical properties: The physical properties of 316L stainless steel powder depend on the particle size and shape. The density of the powder is about 7.9 g/cm3, and the melting point is about 1400°C. The powder has good flowability and compressibility, which are important for manufacturing processes.
• Mechanical properties: The mechanical properties of 316L stainless steel powder depend on the manufacturing process and the post-processing conditions. The powder can achieve high strength, hardness, toughness, fatigue resistance, and wear resistance after sintering or melting. The typical tensile strength of 316L powder is from 500 to 700 MPa, and the typical elongation is from 30 to 50%.

Advantages of using 316L stainless steel powder in AM.

• Design freedom: AM can create parts with complex geometries, internal structures, and functional features that are difficult or impossible to achieve by conventional manufacturing methods. AM can also reduce the need for assembly and machining operations.
• Material efficiency: AM can reduce material waste by using only the amount of material needed to create the part. AM can also recycle the unused or excess powder for future use.
• Performance improvement: AM can improve the performance of the parts by optimizing their mechanical properties, microstructure, and surface finish. AM can also create parts with better corrosion resistance, biocompatibility, and thermal conductivity than conventional parts.

How to Use 316L in Metal Injection Moulding?

Metal injection moulding (MIM), also known as powder injection moulding (PIM), is a process that combines the advantages of plastic injection moulding and powder metallurgy. MIM can produce complex and precise parts with near-net shape and minimal material waste.

Selenium
Selenium is a non metallic chemical element, member of the group XVI of the periodic table. In chemical activity and physical properties it resembles sulfur and tellurium. Selenium appearsin a number of allotropic forms: the most popular are a red amorphous powder, a red crystalline material, and a gray crystalline metallike form called metallic selenium. This last form conducts electricity better in the light than in the dark and is used in photocells. Selenium burns in air and is uneffected by water, but dissolves in concentrated nitric acid and alkalis.


Applications:
Selenium has good photovoltaic and photoconductive properties, and it is used extensively in electronics, such as photocells, light meters and solar cells. The second largest use of selenium is in the glass industry: selenium is used to remove colour from glass, to give a red colour to glasses and enamels. The third min use, taking about 15% is sodium selenite for animal feeds and food supplements. Selenium can also find applications in photocopying, in the toning of photographs. Its artistic use is to intensify and extend the tonal range of black and white photographic images. Other uses of selenium are in metal alloys such as the lead plates used in storage batteries and in rectifiers to convert AC current in DC current. Selenium is used to improve the abrasion resistance in vulcanized rubbers. Some selenium compounds are added to anti-dandruff shampoos.

Selenium in the environment:

Selenium poisoning may become so severe in some cases that it can even cause death.

Overexposure of selenium fumes may produce accumulation of fluid in the lungs, garlic breath, bronchitis, pneumonitis, bronchial asthma, nausea, chills, fever, headache, sore throat, shortness of breath, conjunctivitis, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea and enlarged liver. Selenium is an eye and upper respiratory irritant and a sensitizer. Overexposure may result in red staining of the nails, teeth and hair. Selenium dioxide reacts with moisture to form selenious acid, which is corrosive to the skin and eyes. Carcinogenicity- The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has listed selenium within Group 3 (The agent is not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans.)

Agriculture cannot only increase the selenium content in soil; it can also increase selenium concentrations in surface water, as selenium is brought along in irrigation drainage water.

Bismuth:

Bismuth is a white, crystalline, brittle metal with a pinkish tinge. Bismuth is the most diamagnetic of all metals, and the thermal conductivity is lower than any metal except mercury. It has a high electrical resistance, and has the highest Hall effect of any metal (that is, the greatest increase in electrical resistance when placed in a magnetic field). Bismuth is stable to oxygen and water but dissolves in concentrated nitric air. All bismuth salts form insoluble compounds when put into water.

Applications:

Bismuth metal is used in the manufacture of low melting solders and fusible alloys as well as low toxicity bird shot and fishing sinkers. Certain bismuth compounds are also manufactured and used as pharmaceuticals. Industry makes use of bismuth compounds as catalysts in manifacturing acrylonitrile, the starting material for synthetic fibers and rubbers. Bismuth is sometimes used in the production of shot and shotguns.

Bismuth in the environment:

The most important ores of bismuth are bismuthimite and bismite. Bismuth occurs naturally as the metal itself and is found as crystals in the sulphides ores of nickel, cobalt, silver and tin. Bismuth is mainly produced as a by-product from lead and copper smelting, especially in USA. The chief areas where it is mined are Bolivia, Peru', Japan, Mexico and Canada, but only to the extent of 3.000 tonnes per year. There is no reliable estimate of how much bismuth is available to be mined, but it seems unlikely than there will ever be a shortage of this metal.

Health effects of bismuth:

Bismuth and its salts can cause kidney damage, although the degree of such damage is usually mild. Large doses can be fatal. Industrially it is considered one of the less toxic of the heavy metals. Serious and sometimes fatal poisoning may occur from the injection of large doses into closed cavities and from extensive application to burns (in form of soluble bismuth compounds). It is stated that the administration of bismuth should be stopped when gingivitis appears, for otherwise serious ulceration stomatitis is likely to result. Other toxic results may develop, such as vague feeling of bodily discomfort, presence of albumin or other protein substance in the urine, diarrhea, skin reactions and sometimes serious exodermatitis.

Routes of entry: Inhalation, skin and ingestion.

Acute effects: Inhalation: POISON. May be a nuisance dust causing respiratory irritation. May cause foul breath, metallic taste and gingivitis. Ingestion: POISON. May cause nausea, loss of appetite and weight, malaise, albuminuria, diarrhea, skin reactions, stomatitis, headache, fever, sleeplessness, depression, rheumatic pain and a black line may form on gums in the mouth due to deposition of bismuth sulphide. Skin: May cause irritation. Eyes: May cause irritation.

Chronic effects: Inhalation: May affect the function of the liver and the kidneys.

Ingestion: May affect the function of the liver and the kidneys. May cause anemia, black line may form on gums and ulcerative stomatitis. Skin: May cause dermatitis. Eyes: No chronic health effects recorded.

• Medical conditions generally aggravated by the exposure: Pre-existing skin and respiratory disorders.
• Bismuth is not considered a human carcinogen.
• Environmental effects of Bismuth

 

Bismuth metal is not considered toxic and poses minimum threat to the environment. Bismuth compounds generally have very low solubility but they should be handled with care, as there is only limited information on their effects and fate in the environment.
