yeah, good stuff Alison.





OMFG they're starting to rock COBRA BLING!!! i got dibbs on Metal Face Destro!!!

Hey Beck I just checked out that photo of you and your cousins, and it's you and your uncle chris that look really alike...


oh yeah and congrats alison!

Congrats Alison!

Congrats, alison.

I love research. It's all about proof of concept, rather than working programs. Makes development easier, but it's a bitch if you ever want to use something that was developed before. Case in point. This project was a great idea (you may have to take my word on it), and the department got its fair share of publications and theses out of it, but forget trying to use it two years later. Even on the same fucking equipment. Nothing. Of course, my work will end up the same way (useful for the short term as a proof of concept before being a completely useless system down the road), but I still get to complain about it now.

guess who won a CBC contest! um... ha ha! this is just funny... and awesome! yay me!

If you're interested, my recommendation is about four posts from the end of the list.

"Hi Alison,

 We reviewed all the "People's Choice" submissions this week and have selected your recommendation as one of the best we received.

 We'd like to send you a Canada Reads tote bag as a prize but in order to do that, we need your mailing address. If you pass it along, we'll send it right away.

Many thanks for your submission (it's posted by the way on the "People's Choice" page)."

In answer to the Cores supposedly impossible method of casting plating which can withstand high temperature... It is entirely possible if you use powder metalurgy. A good example would be Tungsten-Carbide grinding inserts. The melting point of Tungsten is 3000 degree celsius. Most refractory lining can only withstand temps in the 2000 degree range. So first you make the tungsten and carbide into powder by using eletric arcs to flake the metal into powder. The arc has the temperature of the surface of the sun. Conversly the center of the earth has a much cooler temperature by comparison. You combine the tungsten powder with a biding agent like cobalt powder. You then press the powder into the desired shape and then heat it at 1500 degree celsius. The cobalt will melt combining the particle together like super glue sticking pieces of plastic together. So only the cobalt will have to melt and not the tungsten carbide. When exposed to these temperatures again the cobalt is insulated by the tungsten and therefore will not losen the or seep out. Therefore you have inserts which can withstand super high temperatures without having to use conventional casting methods.
