Excerpt from Intelligent Processing of MaterialsThis year, two major oipm programs completed research work and moved into plant demonstration or implementation phases. The consortium on intelligent processing of rapidly solidified metal powders met its technical targets, successfully demonstrating pilot plant production of metal powder in a fully instrumented system under intelligent control. Work will continue in 1995 to transfer the technology to consortium members. We also reached agreement with the Aluminum Association and member companies to conduct a definitive plant trial of an eddy current sensor system for accurate measurement of aluminum temper ature during hot rolling. The plant trial of the nist sensor is scheduled for June 1995.Nist researchers also made a number of significant scientific and technical advances in other ipm programs this year. These technical advances include the following.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
