A move away from fossil fuels will ultimately require hydrogen. There are a number of sectors that require it, including energy intensive manufacturing (steel, glass), and haulage. The future hydrogen economy will require an accurate knowledge of flow to allow for metering, charging, distribution, storage, and capacity planning, and to ensure that the net...

99% of piezoelectric materials contain lead which is hazardous. This project will develop environmentally benign lead-free materials, processed without harmful chemicals. The new materials will be showcased in three types of demonstrator.

Ionix manufacture ceramic materials. Ceramic materials have holes, and in our material, smalls holes cannot be detected with off-the-shelf techniques. We have determined that infra-red provides a non-destructive technique which allows us for the first time to detect and size these flaws. In the proposal we will develop a technique which will allow us to v...

With Covid-19 causing significant limitations on asset integrity inspections due to travel restrictions, social distancing and redundancies of key, trained inspection staff, it has left many critical facilities, such as power generation (including nuclear and renewables) infrastructure at increased risk of failure and unscheduled outage. Covid has also ca...

This project aims to develop new sensors for inspection and monitoring of operational parameters and defects in aeroengines. In the short term, the project will enable a new range of instruments capable of inspecting the engines on the ground, either whilst powered or shortly after shutdown. In the longer term, the sensors will be fully integrated into th...

The need to test difficult to access, thick section steel components for weld defects and in-service corrosion that may lead to pressure vessel/component failure in the nuclear power generation industry requires the application of high sensitivity ultrasonic testing (UT) techniques. However the transducers that generate the beams of ultrasound do not oper...

ENCASE develops a number of key enabling technologies required for the control system in the novel UltraFan® engine demonstrator. These include electronic core concentrator control systems architecture, sealing & sensor technology, a “super” permanent magnet alternator and architectural safety critical software. The consortium is led by Rolls-Royce with l...

In this project, Ionix Advanced Technologies and Doosan Babcock will test the feasibility of manufacturing a new type of sensor for monitoring the integrity of high temperature plant used in power stations and the oil & gas industry. The new sensor design requires a piezoelectric ceramic material to be bonded directly to the steel of the vessel or pipe to...

Piezoelectric materials are used to produce and sense ultrasound in instrumentation used to monitor structural integrity, monitor flows and measure distance variations in a rnage of industrial environments. Ionix Advanced Technologies specializes in piezoelectric materials and ultrasound devices for the high temperature applications in this field. The pro...
