Press Releases of InfraTec

As part of the IGF project “Manufacture of high-strength, ductile components from low-alloy quenched and tempered steel using novel quenching & partitioning press hardening strategies”, infrared thermography was used for process analysis and material characterization. The work focused on thermomechanical interactions during forming. Thermographic measurements were taken both during conventional heating processes (for example, furnace heating) and during innovative strategies such as contact heating.

With InfraTec’s new DIECAST-CHECK automation solution, users can monitor the temperature distribution across the surface of the die inline. The system detects thermal deviations early on, thereby creating the conditions necessary to stabilize die casting processes, reliably ensure the quality of castings, and reduce scrap.

InfraTec restructures the information available online for its IR filters and windows. Detailed specifications, compatible detector options and a new product filter make it easier to select the right spectral solution for pyroelectric detectors.

In our free InfraTec online event “Thermography in Aerospace Engineering”, you will learn more about the wide range of possible applications of thermography for research and development in aerospace engineering and for the investigation of friction processes. Our experts will demonstrate how temperature distributions and their temporal trends can be captured, analyzed and used for effective testing.

How do ice crystals form in mixed-phase clouds? And what role do freezing drizzle droplets play in this process? Scientists at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have investigated these questions through experimental studies.
