Host Jonathan Taylor talks with Jake and Mark about ResonantAcoustic® Mixing, or RAM Technology and its application in the manufacturing of composite materials.
The show includes a live mixing demonstration at the 10:45 second mark, sharing a LabRAM I mixing a viscous paste from corn syrup and two powders at 80g. This demonstration is performed at 80 times the force of gravity and mixes a 350,000 centipoise viscous paste in 2 minutes.
NASA’s new GRX-810 composite material is discussed at the 15:30 minute mark. NASA uses Resodyn Acoustic Mixers to coat metal alloy powders with nanoparticle ceramic oxides to create GRX-810, which has almost double the tensile strength, more than double the ductility, and 10X-2000X better creep rupture life than conventional superalloys and current 3D-printable metal parts.
In addition to aerospace, 3DPrinting, and Additive Manufacturing, other industries touched upon were pharmaceutical manufacturing and battery manufacturing.
