With the maturity of synthetic diamond technology, the use of diamond-based reinforced plastics in the field of aerospace equipment has become more extensive and in-depth. Element Six Aerodynamics said that in the next generation of 3D composite tool solutions, carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) productivity will triple.
As a manufacturer of synthetic diamond superhard materials and a subsidiary of the De Beers Group, Element Six currently builds Aero-DianamicsTM, a portfolio of aerospace industry PCD products. Compared to current carbide machining tool systems, the new product range increases the production capacity per component (about three times) and reduces manufacturing costs. In particular, composite processing including CFRP.
CFRP in the aerospace industry CFRP materials currently account for about 50% of the entire fuselage material. Take the Boeing 787 Dreamliner as an example. The fuselage, wing, tail, stabilizer, control surface and nacelle are all applied to CFRP. material. Airbus (large-scale short- and medium-haul jetliners) accounted for more than 53% of composite applications. The future demand for this material in the aerospace industry is expected to grow at a rate of 14% per year. In the automotive industry, the proportion of composite materials is growing at a higher rate.
CFRP materials that promote the economic development of the aerospace industry have the following advantages:
• Aircraft weight reduction can improve emissions technology, which in turn increases fuel efficiency by around 25%.
• Improve and introduce new technologies such as the next generation of new turbines.
• Durable and low maintenance costs.
• Improve the strength of the aircraft to increase cabin pressure and improve passenger comfort.
• Improve the payload of the aircraft

Zinc Sulfide Lens

Multi-spectral grade of zinc sulfide has low absorption and scatter properties over its broad transmission range of 0.4 - 12μm. Zinc Sulfide Multispectral is a chemically vapor deposited material which is commonly used in thermal imaging. With its excellent transmission properties in the visible and infrared, Zinc Sulfide Multispectral is the material of choice for systems that have both visible and mid-wave or long-wave infrared sensors. It is slightly harder and more chemically resistant than zinc selenide.

We consistently offer various high quality optical components according to the customer's requirements use other infrared materials. Such as prisms,Spherical Lens, aspherial lens,Ball lens,Optical Windows,Achromatic Lens,cylinder lens etc.
