New luminous bricks from Morgan enable non-standard IR gas furnace repair

October 2014

Morgan Advanced Materials announces groundbreaking brazed carbon fibre-titanium honeycomb capability Morgan Advanced Materials announces the development of a groundbreaking new capability of brazing carbon fiber, ceramics, composites, or other engineered materials directly to a titanium honeycomb. This technique brings together the best qualities of both components, ensuring a final material that is strong, lightweight, and impact- and heat-resistant.

Carbon fiber and other similar non-metallic engineered materials have exceptional thermal conductivity capabilities, and are able to remain strong at temperatures exceeding 2000°F, far higher than those at which any metals retain their strength. Titanium honeycomb adds greater strength to the carbon fiber and eliminates fracturing issues by transferring forces from impact better than the carbon fiber alone. Both materials are exceedingly lightweight.

In addition, the strength of the braze bond is exceptional, equaling or exceeding the strength of each component material, unlike the reduced strength of adhesive, riveted, or other bonds. The addition of the titanium honeycomb to the carbon fiber allows easy joining of the titanium to other structures through traditional joining techniques.

This material is ideal for aerospace applications, especially on lifting surfaces such as wings or flaps, where strength, low weight and a thin cross-section are important, and the rear sections of engines, where combined high strength and thermal transfer is key. The material has the capability for use in hypersonic crafts, given that such high speeds require great strength and often lead to exceptionally high temperatures on leading edges.Beyond aerospace applications, engineers from Morgan expect that this new material will be useful wherever light weight, extremely high strength and exceptional thermal capabilities are mission-critical, such as in certain automotive or defense applications.

“We believe that now that this capability has been developed as part of our UltinexTM brazing solutions offerings, our customers will find uses for it that we haven’t even dreamed of yet,” said Tom Sandin, Product Manager at Morgan Advanced Materials’ Braze Alloys business. “The combination of the thermal capabilities and strength of the carbon fiber, with the impact absorption and joining capabilities of the titanium, all with a high-strength braze bond, mean that the possibilities for this material are exceptional.”

Morgan appoints defence specialist

Morgan Advanced Materials has responded to customer demand with the development of bespoke insulating fire bricks for the production of infrared (IR) gas furnaces used by a major customer in applications where precise control and consistency of temperature are key.

IR gas furnaces were developed around 40 years ago to harness the cost-effectiveness of IR heating compared with the energy produced by electrical heating. They are mainly used in applications such as special heat treatment of steel, and sintering and stabilising of fluorescent lamps and tubes.

The walls of these furnaces are made from insulating fire bricks with particular properties of porosity and permeability, known as ‘luminous bricks’. The bricks ensure the entire wall acts as a burner, providing a uniform temperature throughout the furnace and no hot or cold spots, while ensuring any change in temperature is accurately controlled. A mixture of gas and air in the required proportions is generated then passed through the wall, which has a permeability level specifically designed to minimise pressure loss while ensuring the flame develops evenly on the interior surface.

While the use of these furnaces remains widespread, availability of non-standard replacement bricks to extend their service life has been poor, prompting Morgan to develop its own bricks in response to a specific customer request from Global Oven Systems (GOS).

Morgan’s Research & Development team at its facility in Casalpusterlengo, Italy, experimented with various levels of

permeability – developing a dedicated system to the exactinginternational American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standard - and various material configurations on its production line before settling on the final formulation. The new product, known as JM25 PH, was then subjected to rigorous production trials and testing at the customer’s facility before being adopted.

Ermanno Magni of Morgan Advanced Materials explained: “The development of the new luminous bricks exemplifies our extensive industry experience, and ability to hone our material formulation and production techniques to deliver a bespoke, high-performance solution for a customer who was previously only able to select from standard products.”

Morgan’s Thermal Ceramics business is an established partner to global industry, supplying a range of high-temperature insulation wool and refractory ceramics in a variety of environments and industries.

Morgan Advanced Materials has appointed a defence specialist with more than 40 years’ experience to the role of EMEA Business Development Executive within its Composite & Defence Systems business in Coventry, UK.

Adrian Clarke began his career as a British Army Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME) apprentice before completing international postings with the Royal Armoured Corps Research & Development unit, the Queen’s Royal Irish Hussars and the King’s Hussars.

He later acted as an advisor to the Kuwaiti Army, and retired from the Army after serving as the Head of Electro-Mechanical Engineering at

the School of Electro-Mechanical Engineering in Bordon, Hampshire.Adrian then moved into programme management and business development roles at BAE Systems and ITT Defence, most recently working as European Business Development Executive at Exelis Defence Ltd before joining Morgan.

Commenting on his new role, Adrian said: “Morgan has established an enviable reputation for soldier protection and armoured vehicle systems for the global military marketplace, and I relish the opportunity to develop new export opportunities using my own experience of the Armed Forces.”

Martyn Cook, Business Development Director added: “Adrian brings a wealth of experience to the team and his industry relationships will be key to the successful implementation of our export strategy, which focuses on our unique combination of state-of-the-art composites with robust ceramic materials.”

New ultrasonic PZT sensors allow continuous operation between -30°C and 160°CMorgan Advanced Materials has once again pushed the boundaries of sensor design and construction and has developed the capability to reliably manufacture compact, lead zirconium titanate (PZT) based ultrasonic sensors for continuous operation between -30°C and 160°C.

Morgan is an established leader in the design and manufacture of piezoceramic sensors for applications in sectors such as oil & gas, aerospace, marine and chemical processing. Sensor types benefiting from Morgan’s temperature-tolerant technology include flow measurement, continuous level sensing, distance detection and “contact” sensors. Ultrasonic transducers can also be supplied which are able to conduct additional analyses such as the identification of fluid “quality” and chemical concentration.

As well as excellent functionality at high operational temperatures, the new sensors can tolerate wider non-operational temperature ranges and regular thermal cycling during service.

Morgan’s expertise ensures the optimal material is selected for each sensor. The material finally selected will often be chosen to fulfil multiple criteria with known heritage in comparable

applications. For example, an aerospace-qualified material rated for continuous high temperature operation up to 250°C may be selected for one application, while another material, operating at very similar temperatures in a sonar application, may be selected for its high resistance to pressure. Morgan’s intimate materials knowledge enables its dedicated design team to propose the best solution for the customer’s requirements. Complimentary sensors, actuators or elements can also be incorporated at customer request to provide increased device capability and system integration.

Morgan believes that sensor operating temperature ranges could be extended even further, as Tony Beswick of Morgan explained: “Although in our recent trials we did not perform low temperature tests below -30°C, the performance of our sensors was shown to increase with a decrease in temperature. Further reductions in the bottom limit of the rated operational temperature are expected and indeed Morgan has already manufactured sensors for cryogenic applications that operate at much lower temperatures. We are keen to hear from any customer seeking reliable, high-specification sensing solutions for any extreme temperature operating environment.”

Investment helps optimise service to aerospace and industrial gas turbine sectors

October 2014

A substantial six-figure investment by Morgan Advanced Materials in both people and equipment at its UK-based Certech sites is further enhancing the company’s offering to industrial sectors including aerospace and industrial gas turbines.

The company has invested in a state-of-the-art three-axis robot, being used primarily in high-volume, medium complexity operations, which is helping to optimise repeatability and process consistency while significantly increasing overall yield.

A new injection moulding machine has also been acquired for the production of industrial gas turbine blades, with yields in this area already up by a significant percentage. A further machine, dedicated to production for the aerospace sector, is to be installed by the end of 2014.

An on-site research & development laboratory has been overhauled too, with the introduction of pilot productionequipment including an injection moulding machine, mixer and kiln. This is enabling the extended testing of existing material properties and performance.

In addition to the investments being made in equipment, two new manufacturing engineers and two new global business development executives have been employed to service growing business and pursue new opportunities.

Part of Morgan since 2008, the Certech business develops innovative materials which it manufactures into sacrificial cores for investment casting,

primarily for manufacturing blades for aerospace engines and industrial gas turbines, but also components for new sectors such as medical and automotive. Its dedicated facilities at Corby and Derby serve major international customers across the globe.

Robert Park from Morgan’s Certech business explained: “The demands from the markets in which we operate are ever-changing and we continue to invest in new processes and materials to maintain and strengthen our market-leading position in the area of sacrificial cores. With validations from the leading players in each sector, we are able to combine state-of-the-art materials and design with agile, responsive service and complete traceability.”

A high-specification alternative to glass, already established in critical applications in the aerospace and defence sectors, is now being offered for a variety of industrial applications by Morgan Advanced Materials.

Made from a single aluminium oxide crystal, sapphire-based lenses are optically transparent from infrared through visible to UV light. They offer the highest strength of all optical window materials except diamond, retaining all mechanical proprieties across a wide temperature range from cryogenic (-150°C and below) to more than 2,000ºC, and also feature the highest melting point at around 2,040ºC. Their strength and hardness mean they will not suffer surface damage or devitrification caused by extreme thermal cycling and they are resistant to the vast majority of commonly encountered chemicals. High radiation systems also offer resistance to solarisation (UV radiation darkening). The material’s high dielectric constant and low loss tangent makes it suited to low-loss, long-wavelength windows and electrical insulators.

Sapphire lenses are supplied either pre-metallised for in-house braze assembly by customers, or as a complete unit with metal housings produced to customer specifications. The latter provides a hermetic seal suited to ultra-high vacuum (UHV) applications which can be subjected to repeated thermal cycling, and still maintain a helium leak rate equal to or less than 1x 10-9 mBar l/sec. Lenses can be supplied flat, or with single or double convex faces.

Further applications for which this technology is suitable include optical windows for infrared thermal detection; windows for semi-conductor plasma and chemical etching; and windows for furnaces, pyrometers and other high-temperature processes.

Oliver Petersen of Morgan Advanced Materials explained: “Sapphire boasts a unique range of properties and while it is widely used in the aerospace and defence sectors, we are seeing greater demand in applications where any lessening of the transparency cannot be compromised, for the sake of process quality or safety. With a range of sealing options and braze alloys available, we believe the list of potential applications could be much longer, and we are keen to speak to any customer seeking to harness these attributes in their own applications.”

Morgan Advanced Materials has launched a new market-leading surface profiler offering a unique range of features and benefits.

The new MSPro14 product, which seamlessly integrates a range of cutting edge technologies and user-friendly features into one portable unit, is set to raise industry standards for the surface profiling of commutators and slip rings.

The Morgan MSPro14 accurately measures and records the surface conditions of commutators and slip rings, but accuracy is not its only advantage. This new measuring system boasts a solid, easy-to-mount sensor that can be fitted to a wide range of holder sizes and can cope with extreme environments, including vibration. Moreover, the optimised sensor head will fit easily onto helically grooved slip rings. Offering rapid and simple set-up, it also has a responsive and user-friendly touch screen that is held within a robust housing.

It has been designed to help determine the cause of problems such as uneven or poor brush wear, chipped brushes, frayed flexes, under-brush sparking and system deterioration. The results it generates indicate the quality of the surface profile, and whether the component needs to be replaced or further fault diagnosis is required; helping to reduce downtime and maintenance costs by highlighting potential issues before complete failure occurs.

The MSPro14 software, DASPro14, is extremely user-friendly and easy to navigate. It offers a built-in editing interface, allowing further analysis of the measurement on a computer. It can load and read files from Morgan’s previous profiler model, the MMS6000. The box has a large memory capacity that allows the ability to store more profiler measurements than the MMS6000. By using the software, different measurements can be compared on a computer.

The MSPro14 comes in a robust yet lightweight carrying case, containing all the equipment needed to profile accurately and effectively. This includes DASPro14 data analysis software, sensor and clamp, sensor sleeve, sensor spacer set, USB cable and charger, G-clamp, torch, pen and back-up battery. The MSPro14 is compatible with any PC running Windows (even Windows XP) via a USB connection, and can easily be switched between imperial and metric measurement modes.

The MSPro14 is also highly versatile, having optimised sensor heads for commutators, slip rings and helical grooved slip rings and being designed to fit easily into the brush box. Its sensor is longer than those of previous models, making it ideal for use in longer wind power holders.

Theo Pannevis of Morgan Advanced Materials believes the MSPro14 will revolutionise customers’ experience of surface profiling. “The MSPro14 is much more than just a highly accurate surface profiler. At Morgan we have listened to our customers and produced a top-quality machine that meets their needs. The MSPro14 is technically advanced but extremely user-friendly, portable but versatile and sensitive but robust. We offer a comprehensive support package - including on-site visits and technical support - as our customers move forward with us into the new world of surface profiling.”

Morgan Advanced Materials announces its new P-59 ceramic core material, a high-silica core type with a fine particle size distribution. The P-59 material is a development of P-52 and represents a breakthrough into the high stability realm of materials. P-59 is intended for Directionally Solidified (DS) and Single Crystal (SX) applications with thin cross sections that P-52 and P-57 core material cannot fill.

Used in the manufacture of jet engine turbine blades as part of the investment casting process, P-59 is at the cutting edge of materials innovation, providing critical benefits to the final product such as increased fuel efficiency. In order to achieve greater efficiency, engines must run at extremely high temperatures which demands superior air cooling capabilities.

One element of that air cooling capability is a small, thin, trailing edge portion of the core; P-59 material, with its fine particle size distribution, is able to achieve a trailing edge that is up to 20% thinner than that produced by other materials.

Even with its fine particle size, P-59 is able to maintain other key properties for investment casting, such as stability, crushability and leachability. In addition to the Aerospace market, Ceramic cores from Morgan are regularly used during the creation a variety of products, including Industrial Gas Turbine blades for power generation.

Morgan Advanced Materials’ Composites and Defense Systems business announces the availability of its buoyant, lightweight rifle plates, capable of stopping 7.62mm rifle ammunition.

The ergonomically designed rifle plates offer exceptional performance and are therefore ideal for police and security personnel.

Extensive testing has proven that the plates perform well, even under extreme temperature conditions, and are capable of withstanding close multi-hit shot spacing.

“Our customers are thrilled with this new technology, since more and more police and security personnel are being targeted by high powered hunting or assault rifles,” said James Kempston, Business Manager of Morgan Composites and Defense Systems. “Morgan’s new technology protects against these rounds with a highly ergonomic, comfortable and lightweight plate. The result is exiting – a plate that fits and feels like it’s not even there.”

The new rifle plates from Composites and Defense Systems weight less than 1 kg (2.2 lb) and are just 20mm thick. They feature an ergonomic, multi-curve design.

New ultrasonic sensor from Morgan Advanced Materials can detect liquid level without physical contact

Advanced Thinking in Advanced Materials www.morganadvancedmaterials.com

November 2014

Morgan Advanced Materials has introduced a new ultrasonic sensing solution, capable of detecting the level of liquids in a variety of container sizes without needing to come into physical contact with the contents.

Relying on acoustic wave reflection, the new level sensor sends an ultrasonic burst and then ‘listens’ for an echo at a point in time depending on the container size. The signal changes when the liquid drops below a pre-determined level, with the ability to trigger an alert for corrective action to be taken. The sensor can also operate in continuous mode when positioned at the base of a container, detecting liquid depth. In this mode, its operation relies on wave reflection from the liquid/air interface.

The transducer simply mounts onto the container exterior with an adjustable strap, making positioning and removal straightforward. To further ease its use, the sensor is based on a ‘dry-coupled’ design which is not reliant on separate liquid or gel couplants that leave unwanted residue. Instead it uses an innovative compliant layer that only requires moderate pressure against the desired container to operate.

Its ability to detect liquid levels from outside the container makes it ideal for use with drip chambers and in any other application where the liquid is not intended to come into contact with the sensor. This is particularly relevant in medical applications where sterilised and traceable materials would otherwise be required but also in applications where a corrosive or harmful liquid is being used.

This is the first system of its kind able to work accurately with cylindrical containers below 2” (51mm) in diameter, with capacities between 20mm and 300mm. It is available with or without electronics, depending on the customer requirement.

Oliver Ridd of Morgan Advanced Materials explained: “There are many medical and laboratory applications where the levels of small quantities of liquid need to be measured accurately but where the physical presence of a sensor could contaminate the liquid. Needing no separate fixing media, the new sensor can be quickly and conveniently fitted to even a very small container, rapidly producing an accurate reading of the liquid level which can then be used to ensure it remains above the safe or desired minimum.”

Morgan’s Composites business honoured with Composites UK Innovation Design Award

Morgan Advanced Materials has achieved a major award for innovation in the area of composites design, for the development of its customised, high-protection crew compartments for military vehicles.

Morgan’s Composites & Defence Systems business received the ‘Innovation in Composite Design’ award at the Composites UK Innovation of the Year Awards at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham.

Established in 2009 and recognised as the premier awards in the sector, the annual event sees Composites UK, the official trade association for the UK composites industry, recognise the key advances made by UK companies. Awards are made to organisations which have found innovative composites solutions that have or will contribute significantly to the future of the company itself and the industry as a whole.

A world leader in global materials engineering, Morgan was selected by the judges for its design and development of a new survivability solution for customised composite crew compartments for armoured reconnaissance and tactical vehicles.

Morgan engineered the armoured composite crew compartment for Tata Motors’ Light Armoured Multipurpose Vehicle

(LAMV) programme for the Indian Ministry of Defence. Taking responsibility for the entire system from computer modelling and Finite Element Analysis through to production. Morgan created a detachable, blast and ballistic-resistant crew department, which was easily integrated onto a Tata-produced chassis and can be modified to provide higher levels of protection if required.The Morgan composite and ceramic ‘pod’ provides the same levels of protection while being more than 1,000 kg lighter than a similarly protected steel structure. This makes the vehicle more mobile and fuel-efficient, creates a higher payload and provides inherent spall protection as it does not contain metal.

Duncan Eldridge of Morgan Advanced Materials – Composites & Defence Systems, commented: “The Morgan team is extremely proud of this award and it is clearly an encouragement to carry on working the way we do. We have many years of experience in the design of armoured systems for military vehicles and replacing metal with lighter, more effective composite solutions, putting us at the leading edge of composite armour technology. This project demonstrated our capability in designing and manufacturing outstanding composite components and complete systems – a capability that we use for customers in both military and civil applications. We see this award as a great achievement for the entire Morgan team.”

25-year partnership confirms Morgan’s composite material expertise in healthcare sector

The use of radiotherapy has become established over the last 25 years as a major tool in the fight against cancer but it is acknowledged that its effectiveness is only as good as the tools used to deliver it.

By far the most common is a couch on which the patient lies while the treatment is delivered from both above and below. The most important attribute of the couch top is its ability not to deflect or sag when mounted by the patient, ensuring the treatment is then delivered to precisely the intended location. For many years, the most common material for the couch top was timber, but it was becoming clear that even the hardest of woods was not able to offer the requisite strength or rigidity, with the possibility that treatment may be inadvertently applied to the wrong areas, rendering it ineffective with considerable cost to the hospital. Meanwhile, the performance of differing pieces of timber varied radically.

Varian Medical Systems, the world’s leading manufacturer of radiotherapy delivery systems, felt that a more advanced material was required, able to offer greater homogeneity with minimal but measurable deflection under pressure, while minimising weight as far as possible to enable advances in delivery capability

The Varian team consulted Morgan’s Composites and Defence Systems (CaDS) business (then NP Aerospace) who recommended the use of a carbon fibre base. Carbon fibre boasts a number of attributes making it ideal for this type of application.

After the initial recommendation Morgan worked to develop a suitable solution and manufacturing process that met the exacting requirements of Varian. Morgan has continued to invest in its research & development capability at its cleanroom manufacturing facility in Coventry, UK, enabling it to offer the latest in material enhancements and manufacturing process innovation to Varian, resulting in a moulded component with no inclusions, optimising image quality.

The two businesses have worked in partnership for more than 25 years, with Morgan supplying more than 11,500 carbon fibre couch tops to Varian during this time, making it one of the company’s longest-standing and most loyal customers. This long-term relationship was recognised in 2012 when Morgan was named as Varian’s UK Supplier of the Year, from more than 100 suppliers.

The partnership has been key in optimising productivity and performance in hospitals worldwide. Vital to its success has been Morgan’s quality, delivery and responsiveness, with the design of the couch tops evolving to meet the needs of ever-changing treatment methods.

Extensive process development and testing has resulted in a high level of homogeneity, resulting in consistent, repeatable performance across components and batches. The couches are also highly radiotranslucent (x-ray transparent), meaning they only absorb a minimal amount of the radio waves, so that the highest quantity of radiation reaches the patient. Perhaps most important, though, is the strength and rigidity of the end product, meaning that it will deflect by no more than 4 or 5mm even when holding a very heavy patient. The current optimised structural design features a precise fibre orientation in lay-up, with highly accurate moulded geometry requiring minimal machining, reducing part costs for Varian.

This success has led to the carbon fibre base becoming the material of choice for all of Varian’s linear accelerator treatment equipment in addition to the original application of imaging on radiotherapy simulators which help to assess the position of the tumour and the best means of treatment delivery.

Duncan Eldridge, President of Morgan’s CaDS business, commented: “Morgan is proud to continue to support Varian’s pioneering work in saving lives through the research into and treatment of cancer.”
