Detection of kissing bonds in friction stir welds in aero structures (StirScan)
Start date: Dec 1, 2012, End date: Nov 30, 2014,
The proposed StirScan project will develop a NDT system in order to address the challenging problem of detecting kissing bonds in Friction Stir Welds (FSW). FSW is a relatively new joining technique for aluminium alloys which offers good joint performance and excellent reproducibility – this is of significant interest to the aerospace sector, where fatigue performance is particular crucial. Howeve ...

A Novel System for the Production of World's First Micro Ball Grid Array (µBGA) Spheres for enabling the EU Electronics Industry to produce smaller electronics goods (µBGAs)
Start date: Jun 1, 2010, End date: May 31, 2013,
There is relentless consumer demand for electronics equipment offering miniaturisation with higher functionality (e.g. cell phones playing music and movies whilst also offering email/SMS/camera functions). The industry is therefore continuously aiming for increases in integrated circuit miniaturization, processor speeds and circuit densities. The resultant increasing numbers of ever finer features ...
