Tiny Particles – Catastrophic Effect

A German automobile manufacturer recently learned what problems the smallest residual dirt particles can cause: It had to recall numerous vehicles due to engine malfunctions. The reason was manufacturing residues consisting of hard particles, which lead to major engine damage - in the worst case, to burning cars. Hard residual dirt particles usually come from the fine processing of surfaces by glass blasting, vibratory grinding, honing […]

Development of Modern Medicine Supported by Microtomography

A medication, for example a painkiller, should work reliably and always release the active ingredient within a certain period of time. A decisive factor for this is the active ingredient content and reproducible release kinetics. With a micro-CT we can scan tablets non-destructively.

Wearout Analysis of Bearing Shells

Bearing shells have the function of rolling and supporting rolling elements. In four-stroke engines, for example, the connecting rod that connects the piston to the crankshaft rotates in a bearing. This is lubricated with oil, which reduces friction and thus wear. However, the lubricant contains various residual contaminant particles that can become lodged in the bearing shell.

A Glance into the Interior of Unique Samples Provided by X-Ray Microtomography

The discovery of a mummy or unique artifacts from human history is a sensation because they form part of the cultural heritage. However, for many investigations it is necessary to damage the object, for example in the form of taking a sample, and the preservation of the find for science is no longer guaranteed. For several years now, researchers have had access to a method called X-ray microtomography that enables non-destructive investigations.

Quality Control of Castings by Microtomography

The quality standards when processing aluminum castings are very high. Especially in the automotive and aviation industries, these parts have to be extremely resilient; incorrect processing would jeopardize safety and longevity. The use of X-ray computed tomography has proven successful in recent years for quality control in industry.
