    Smallest diameter collimated laser/optical beam?

    Most of the applications requiring small diameter laser spots are generated by focusing of laser light and that has a theoretical diffraction limited minimum diameter equal to the wavelength. Does anyone know what is the smallest fully collimated beam (small divergence say single digit milli...

    Annealing mu-metal in hydrogen to retain max permeability?

    Mumetal is a high magnetic permeability alloy. It is known any kind of mechanical deformation changes its microstructure leading to loss of superior magnetic properties. Annealing of machined parts fabricated from mumetal is standard. I keep reading in literature, perhaps everyone getting...

    Measuring metallurgical composition of melt in furnace

    When mixing special grades of alloys, or even in commercial production of common alloys, furnaces are often used where metals or additives are added and mixed, then samples taken at the core and characterized, then adjustments are made by adding additives until the desired composition is...
