Ultrasound reliably detects inclusions in aluminum production

Large, hard-to-access equipment and high temperatures: Foundries are home to extreme conditions. Working with liquid metal requires flexibility and resilience in humans and machines alike. With an eye to this challenging environment, a team of researchers from Fraunhofer IZFP was tasked with developing a new measuring system for customers from the aluminum industry to detect contamination in molten metal—an important tool during the production process. Contaminants as safety risk "The purity of the molten metal, whose temperature ranges from 600 to 800 degrees Celsius, is hugely important to the final product later on. For example, any ceramic particles that may be present in the melt don't liquefy until they get to a temperature of 2,000 degrees or more, and they remain in the finished component as inclusions if they aren't deliberately removed.

Un giorno mi dissero, "non vorrei mai essere come te"

Io risposi : "non preoccuparti, non lo sarai mai!"

A parte che se esprimi un giudizio lo giustifichi... comunque, grazie a Dio, siamo tutti diversi e speciali, ognuno a modo suo.

E' proprio bello , la possibilità di confrontarsi e capire i propri pregi, limiti, migliorarsi magari.

THERE IS ANOTHER REDHEAD ELLIE?! I WAS JUST TOLD THIS?!

Today is apparently Goop Dice Defect Day!

I've got my new 3d printer up and running properly now, and while cleaning up to test some new prints, I discovered a leaky purple die. This one was already set to the side because of some clear coat issues, but I discovered it had been printed with some delamination pin-hole gaps along the numbering. This was probably from one of the last batches I printed when the Mars 2 Pro was already having a pretty rough time. I tried to toss all the ones with obvious lamination issues, and this is exactly why!

It only took the slightest bit of pressure with a hobby knife to split the whole thing into two pieces. When a print gets any sort of defect like that, its just trash. Not even worth salvaging because there's no way to fix it or restore any sort of strength to the print once that that happens.

The second set was a hot car test. I've got a friend who lives in one of those terrible hellstates where it's normally over 100°F or worse. He feared that if he ordered a pair of goop dice from me that they would explode while sitting in the carrier's truck. So I took it upon myself to test that problem.

I do not live in a terrible hellstate, but today's temp readings say it's 93°F, but feels like 100. I threw a pair on my dashboard, in the direct sun, doors closed, windows up. An hour later, they had exploded. Not just cracked, but burst open. They were also extremely hot to the touch because they probably reached or got pretty close to boiling, I'd imagine.

This is obviously a more extreme circumstance, but one I would do need to consider, either way. I don't foresee too many people leaving their dice on the hot dash in the middle of an extremely hot summer day, but if they do get left in a bag in a car or in the back of an infamously hot delivery truck, this is still a possible problem that needs addressing. Plus I've gotta worry about what might happen in the opposite situation when it gets too cold!

Fortunately, the Mars 5 Ultra is up and running with a new build plate and that means I can run off test prints much more quickly and hopefully have a workable solution to the problem much sooner.

The Tree of Life

The trees covered in mushy green moss and vibrant leaves. The trees look old, worn. But not worn out. They are growing. Showing signs of life. Even while dropping leaves, letting go. Still moving on, onto the next season. The leaves are hitting rock bottom, they may crumble and harden. Yet new leaves are reborn. The tree of life, this is my life. I am moving on, I am growing, I am changing, I am reborn. I can let go of my defects. One by one, just like the leaves. I will grow my roots, I will stick to these roots and rise up from the earth. I will stand my ground.

We discovered what it's like to put your hands in an ultrasonic cleaner with distilled water.

It's cool as hell and you feel your blood moving the wrong way.

Would recommend trying it.

For 200 years, scientists have failed to grow a common mineral in the laboratory under the conditions believed to have formed it naturally. Now, a team of researchers from the University of Michigan and Hokkaido University in Sapporo, Japan have finally pulled it off, thanks to a new theory developed from atomic simulations. Their success resolves a long-standing geology mystery called the "Dolomite Problem." Dolomite -- a key mineral in the Dolomite mountains in Italy, Niagara Falls, the White Cliffs of Dover and Utah's Hoodoos -- is very abundant in rocks older than 100 million years, but nearly absent in younger formations. "If we understand how dolomite grows in nature, we might learn new strategies to promote the crystal growth of modern technological materials," said Wenhao Sun, the Dow Early Career Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at U-M and the corresponding author of the paper published today in Science.

So, sometimes dolls will have eyes that discolor. (Either due to being poorly stored - in hot environments, for example - or just because they kind of sucked to begin with and time passed.)

Life of Faith was a "Christian alternative" to American Girl in the early 00s. (These spring up from time to time. Most of them only last a few years with a very niche market. I think, at the time, they had because people were flipping out about American Girl partnering with Girls Inc to fund after-school science programs and stuff, because Girls Inc was - according to the conservatives - "A pro-abortion, pro-lesbian organization".) The dolls were based around the Elsie Dinsmore books and it's all . . . big fluffy dresses on a plantation in the antebellum South. With all that that entails.

It was pretty fucking bad.

With that in mind, this is perhaps the funniest toy defect I have ever seen.
