Material selection for injection molds of thick-walled PP-R parts: experimental comparison of conventional 316L steel, CuBe alloy, and selective laser melting with conformal cooling: thermal performance, part quality, and financial viability

This study experimentally demonstrates that for thick-walled PP-R injection molding, conventionally machined CuBe alloy molds outperform selective laser melting (SLM) molds with conformal cooling across all economic metrics, offering superior cycle time reduction and cost savings despite a higher initial investment, while both advanced concepts successfully produce parts meeting functional qualification standards.

Comprehensive TCAD Investigation of RF Performance, Noise Characteristics, and Intrinsic Capacitances of InAlAs/InGaAs/InP HEMTs: Impact of Gate-to-Channel Distance and Gate Bias.

This study utilizes TCAD simulations to demonstrate that increasing the gate-to-channel distance in InAlAs/InGaAs/InP HEMTs generally reduces noise spectral densities and gate-to-drain capacitance while increasing output conductance and gate-to-source capacitance, whereas varying the gate bias produces distinct, often opposing, effects on current and voltage noise characteristics.
