Minimizing thermal distortion effects on EUV mirror

A mirror is provided with throughholes, or channels, formed through its main body and a coolant pipe of a heat-conductive material is inserted in each of the channels for passing a cooling fluid inside. The outer wall of the coolant pipe does not contact the inner wall of the channel, and there is left a gap in between. The gap contains a heat-conducting gas such as helium. The gap is of a width of less than 100 μm such that the gas has a high heat transfer coefficient even if its pressure is not too high. In some applications the gap may be filled with a heat-conductive fluid. It may be preferable, depending upon the circumstances, to form these channels proximally to the surface on which radiation is made incident. Additionally, the surface of the side of the mirror opposite the reflective side may be heated by auxiliary heat sources.

Spindle thermal distortion compensation method for precision horizontal machining center

A spindle thermal distortion compensation method for a precision horizontal machining center comprises the steps as follows: a spindle model of a machine tool is simplified structurally; an ANSYS (finite element analysis software)-Workbench is utilized to perform mesh generation on a spindle entity model that is simplified, so as to obtain a spindle finite element model; and boundary conditions are calculated by combining with the practical spindle rotational speed, the environmental temperature, the coolant velocity, the flow rate, the inlet and outlet oil temperature and the like, and configuration is performed. Thermodynamics analysis and statics analysis are carried out in the ANSYS-Workbench to obtain more accurate spindle temperature field distribution and thermal deformation. Based on a finite element emulation result, the spindle temperatures in different positions and the spindle thermal deformations are analyzed at different rotational speeds by utilizing the Spearman rank correlation analysis, and spindle thermal key points are found out, so that references are provided to spindle thermal error tests and thermal error compensation. Finally, a thermal error compensation model is built up by utilizing a least squares method according to the key point temperature of the spindle and the thermal errors in the practical tests. Based on the thermal error compensation model, the spindle thermal error compensation is carried out by combining with thermal error compensation strategies of a numerical control system of the machine tool.

Adhesive joining for powder metal components

A method of joining multiple powder metal components to form a powder metal component assembly using an adhesive is disclosed. By machining at least one of the powder metal components prior to the adhesive joining, otherwise difficult to machine features can be more easily machined for less cost and at higher production rates. Unlike high temperature joining techniques, the adhesive joins the powder metal components at room temperature. This room temperature adhesive joining eliminates the thermal distortions in pre-joined machined features common to high temperature joining techniques such as brazing or welding that bring these features out of specification during joining.

Quartz glass crucible, process for producing the same, and use

A crucible has a structure where a layer containing a crystallization accelerating component such as aluminum or the like (a crystallization accelerating layer) is inserted inside a quartz glass layer of a crucible straight body part excepting a crucible bottom part. The crucible does not deform and fall inwardly at the straight body part since a part containing a crystallization accelerating component advances to crystallize so as to increase strength at a high temperature when the crucible is used in pulling up silicon single crystal. Therefore, a single crystallization rate can be increased. Further, since the crystallization accelerating layer is inserted inside the quartz glass layer, the crystallization accelerating component, such as aluminum or barium, does not contact with silicon melt or a carbon susceptor, contamination by eluting these metals does not occurs. Further, since the crystallization accelerating layer is not provided at the crucible bottom part, there is no danger to crack due to thermal distortion at a time of pulling up silicon single crystal and melt leakage does not occur.

Vehicle door structure

A vehicle door structure for suppressing permanent deformation due to thermal distortion of a door is described. A door inner panel 18 and a door outer panel 20 are configured in aluminum alloy or the like. An impact beam 26 and a belt line inner reinforcement 44 are joined to the door inner panel 18. The impact beam 26 and the belt line inner reinforcement 44 are configured from a material, such as steel, with a smaller linear expansion coefficient than the door outer panel 20. Therefore, even if the door 42 as a whole is, for example, placed in a high temperature environment such as a bake oven in electrophoretic coating, the door inner panel 18 side and the door outer panel 20 side are restrained, respectively, by the belt line inner reinforcement 44 and the impact beam 26. Thus, permanent deformation due to thermal distortion at the door outer panel 20 side, due to a difference in the thermal expansion conditions of the door inner panel 18 side and the door outer panel 20 side, may be suppressed.
