This practical book is tailored for engineers working in the industry, and condenses more than a decade’s worth of application experience on furnaces. The various topics discussed include conveyor furnaces, belt furnaces, solar cells, brazing furnaces, thick film furnaces, and furnace air flow and reflow. There are chapters on the influence of belt furnace and firing on silicon solar cells, thin film CIGS solar cells, dye-sensitized solar cells, crystalline solar cells, and lithium ion batteries, as well as how the processes affect the efficiency of each. The authors also address the influence of belt furnace on various processes such as metallization, engine valve heat treatment, brazing, post mold curing, and glass-to-metal sealing. The last few chapters also address Direct Bond Copper (DBC) technologies, and the effect of profile and atmosphere on the reflow process.

Encompassing a review of past work and the fundamentals in solar electric science, this is a leading reference and invaluable resource for all practitioners, consultants, researchers and students in the PV industry.
Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS). These are the proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Processing and Manufacturing of Advanced Materials - THERMEC2011 - which was held during the 1-5 August 2011 in Quebec City, Canada. The conference brought together researchers and engineers/technologists working on various aspects of the processing, fabrication, structure/property evaluation and applications of both ferrous and non-ferrous materials; including biomaterials and smart/intelligent materials. The contents are thus and excellent and up-to-date guide to these subjects.
Handbook of Non-Ferrous Metal Powders: Technologies and Applications, Second Edition, provides information on the manufacture and use of powders of non-ferrous metals that has taken place for many years in the area previously known as Soviet Russia. It presents the huge amount of knowledge and experience that has built up over the last fifty years. Originally published in Russia by several prominent scientists, researchers and engineers, this presents an update to the first book that includes sections on classification, properties, treatment methods and production. This updated edition contains new content on the powders, along with newer methods of 3D printing. Covers the manufacturing methods, properties and importance of the following metals: aluminum, titanium, magnesium, copper, nickel, cobalt, zinc, cadmium, noble metals, rare earth metals, lead, tin and bismuth Includes new content on recent advances, such as additive manufacturing and 3D printing of non-ferrous metal alloys and specific powders for advanced techniques, including metal injection molding technologies Expands on topics such as safety engineering in the production of powders and advanced areas of engineering research, such as nanopowder processes
Really two handbooks in one: Part I covers thermal processing equipment involved in the manufacture of products from metals and other materials of construction Part II covers thermal processing technology involved primarily in the production of materials of construction used by manufacturers. In Part I, the focus is on heating and heat treating equipment, ovens, and low temperature furnaces, plus related subjects (including furnace components, auxiliary equipment, and heat resistant alloys for furnace parts and fixtures). Practical guidelines will help you evaluate, select, apply and operate this equipment. In addition, representative suppliers of each type of equipment are listed at the end of each section, and complete address and phone information are located at the end of the book. The premise of Part II is that the knowledge of both thermal processing technology and foundry technology is critical to the manufacturers of finished products. Apply this know-how to select and apply raw material - a key to survival in these days of global price/quality competition.Part I Contents: Heating and Heating Furnaces (31 types, including kilns and lehrs) Ovens and Low Temperature Furnaces (batch ovens, continuous ovens, oven heating systems, oven recirculating and exhaust system, different types of processing ovens, more) Electric Heating Equipment (induction furnaces, resistant heated furnaces, conductive resistance heat furnaces and more) Furnace Components and Auxiliary Equipment (equipment for combustion, fuel burning, auxiliary combustion, radiation heating, instrumentation and control, safety control for furnaces, energy recovery systems, material handling and furnace charging, continuous handling systems). Part II Contents: Process Furnaces and Kilns (23 types of equipment, including coke ovens, iron blast furnaces, electric smelting and refining furnaces, copper smelting furnaces, roasters and kilns) Melting, Refining and Holding Furnaces (reverberatory furnaces, pneumatic steelmaking furnaces, electric arc melting holding furnaces, electric induction furnaces, secondary steelmaking systems, and other processes).
Our mission is to provide a forum for world experts to discuss technologies, address the growing needs associated with silicon technology, and exchange their discoveries and solutions for current issues of high interest. We encourage collaboration, open discussion, and critical reviews at this conference. Furthermore, we hope that this conference will also provide collaborative opportunities for those who are interested in the semiconductor industry in Asia, particularly in China.
