Determination of the pure space fitness of customized materials
Determination of the pure space fitness of customized materials the
need at clean-spacesuited products and materials rises strongly: After
an inquiry Fraunhofer of the IPA in the past year versechsfacht
himself alone in the assortments that approximately 300 participants
the number of clean-spacesuited materials and products in the last
twelve years. Which is however exactly with "clean-spacesuited
materials" meant, usually unclearly, although for approximately two
years the VDI recommendation is 2083, sheet 8, methods and proceedings
for the evaluation of the pure space fitness of operational funds,
predominantly production plants, defines. Well 42 per cent of the
asked ones indicated from their customers no clear specifications
regarding the materials which can be used to have received. "usually
only overall pure space fitness is demanded. But without more exact
data such demands can not be fulfilled ", tighten Udo Gommel of the
Fraunhofer IPA.Because differently than with the operational funds there is so far
neither a clear definition over the pure space fitness research
methods still specified of materials in addition. The pure space
experts Fraunhofer of the IPA want to remedy this deficit. A first
step in addition is the industrial group "pure-spacesuited materials
RTW", the at the beginning of of 2004 in the life was called. A goal
of the industrial group "RTW" is to be placed the evaluation of the
pure space fitness of materials and the choice of materials for pure
applications to a safe foundation. All asked pure space users strive
for uniform and clearly defined test and evaluation algorithms of
materials. Gommel sees the group as important step on the way to
uniform standards: "such unions worked satisfactorily already with
other technical questions like the uniform specification of
Reinstmedien", explain it.The group partners receive a comprehensive overview of the present
state of the art and can the future requirements and procedures
codesign. Thus contents of the industrial group of the participating
companies are steered, their cooperation with the identification and
characterisation of new materials and layer systems secure for the
participants a clear competition advantage. In the result the
participants practice-suited tools are to the founded selection and
standardized examination of the pure space fitness from materials to
receive. The phase 1 of the industrialism circle "pure-spacesuited
materials RTW" had the goal of specifying "pure space fitness"
regarding materials and of arranging and of establishing appropriate
test algorithms. With exactly this standards the first phase of the
industrial group was successfully locked in February 2005."a standardized proceeding for the investigation of the pure space
fitness of combinations of material", is present, likewise "an
evaluation algorithm for the determination of the pure space fitness
of materials" and read but emergency leases "a material test stand for
the receipt of reproducible inspection results", summarizes the
physicist Gommel the results. Due to successful the cooperative
development of the bases for the examination of materials it is
possible in the following second phase to examine the customized
materials for pure space's applications. Now a data collection is to
be developed over the pure space fitness by materials, on which all
group participants have access. The phase 2 starts with a Kick off
kick-off-Meeting on 12 May 2005 at the Fraunhofer IPA in Stuttgart.In the meeting interested companies are to be informed about the
conditions of the research regarding the "pure space fitness by
materials" and contents of the phase 2 of industrial co-operation. The
Kick off meeting is free. For a further participation in the phase 2
the group takes up still industrial partners than members.
