When ASTM International Committee F38 on Unmanned Aircraft Systems was formed in 2003, it is safe to say no one on the committee was thinking about catapults and trebuchets. However, a study of these medieval devices was integral to the development of a new F38 standard, F 2585 , Specification for Design and Performance of Pneumatic-Hydraulic Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) Launch System. F 2585…

X-ray fluorescence spectrometry is used often to determine a wide range of elements in alloys. The technique provides rapid, accurate, and precise multi-element analysis that enables efficient melt process control. It is also widely used for certification and over-check analysis of product. Although x-ray fluorescence has become a widely used technique of analysis by the nickel alloy industry,…
