| Brazed assemblies used in Europe’s first mission to Mercury |
| |
|
Morgan Technical Ceramics is supplying ceramic/metal assemblies for the solar-electric propulsion system used in BepiColombo, Europe's first spacecraft mission to Mercury, which is expected to launch in 2014.
The propulsion system, which is being manufactured by QinetiQ for the European Space Agency's mission, uses brazed ceramic/metal assemblies to isolate components in the thrusters from extreme high voltage. Brazing is providing a much stronger and simpler solution compared to alternative methods ... More

| Process modelling improves aero engine design |
| |
|
Rolls-Royce uses modelling of aero engine disc manufacturing processes to enhance the understanding of process, material and component design interactions. Justin Cunningham reports.
Conventionally, gas turbine discs are either bolted or electron beam welded to each other to create a drum, which is then joined to one of the central shafts. However, due to the material that needs to be added to the discs in order to bolt through them, bolted joints are heavy, which compromises efficiency and costs ... More
