Listing of all 13 news releases from CSIRO:
Solvent-free powder coats heat-sensitive plastics
Technical background article Dulux Powder Coatings and the CSIRO claimed that Customcoat QP solvent-free powder coating technology can be applied to heat-sensitive plastics and cured at low temperatures.
News from CSIRO ( 7 July 2008)
Purpose-built sensor arrays for corrosion
Tiny and often tucked away in hard-to-reach nooks and crannies, a novel array of sensors is poised to change the costly and resource-intensive process of fighting corrosion.
News from CSIRO (29 May 2006)
Heat treatment strengthens HP die castings
A novel heat treatment process provides large strength improvements - up to double strength - and an excellent surface finish for high pressure die castings, without blistering or distortion.
News from CSIRO (22 February 2006)
Process produces high intensity magnesium castings
A permanent-mould casting process that requires neither applied pressure nor a vacuum to fill the die produces high-integrity magnesium alloy castings - free of porosity and other defects.
News from CSIRO ( 2 February 2006)
Laser repair turbine blades in minutes, in situ
User application article A laser welding technique is repairing power station turbine rotor blades in minutes - rather than days - through advances in the way repair metals stick together.
News from CSIRO ( 8 December 2005)
Welding in magnetic fields is no longer an issue
A compact welding torch enhancement and a novel power supply provide a solution to welding in magnetic fields - at more than 400 gauss - double the strength that industry can weld in now.
News from CSIRO (22 November 2005)
Thixotropic technology to revolutionise diecasting
Instead of ramming molten metals into dies, Australian researchers have developed thixotropic technology in which a semi-solid-feed metal is forced into the dies to reduce porosity.
News from CSIRO ( 9 April 2004)
Remote machine diagnosis is on the march
Machines will all work better and be less likely to fail if they are managed by a remote diagnostic and maintenance system integrated with internet capability writes Dr Murray Hollis.
News from CSIRO (30 January 2004)
Cars and aircraft can now get older and stronger
User application article Australian researchers have found a way of heat-treating aluminium alloys that can boost initial strength and toughness, and stimulate further improvement in these properties over time.
News from CSIRO (30 January 2004)
Thin magnesium sheet technology is ready to roll
Australia's breakthrough low-cost, thin magnesium sheet technology will be made fully production-ready during the next twelve months.
News from CSIRO (28 November 2003)
MIL negotiates magnesium venture with CSIRO
CSIRO and Magnesium International have announced that they have signed a conditional Term Sheet to enter into a venture to manufacture magnesium sheet using CSIRO Twin Roll Casting Technology.
News from CSIRO ( 1 May 2003)
Hybrid laser-arc process could weld much faster
There is a lot more to learn about hybrid laser-arc welding of light alloys, say Austin Dayal and Otto Schumann, who want to reveal the underlying processes that could speed up welding.
News from CSIRO (31 January 2003)
Pilot plant manufactures low cost magnesium sheet
An Australian industrial scale pilot plant is now producing near-net-shape, or close to product thickness, low cost magnesium sheet and affords a 50% capital saving against conventional plant.
