Почему это важно для материаловедения
A turbine is mostly steel and concrete by weight, but the parts that make it competitive — the permanent-magnet generator and the copper in the nacelle and the export cable — are where the critical materials sit.
Из чего состоит
Все материалы →| Материал | Что он делает здесь | Значимость |
|---|---|---|
| Copper критически важный | Generator windings, nacelle wiring and export cable | Определение |
| Dysprosium критически важный | Heat resistance in those magnets | Определение |
| Iron & Steel | Tower, nacelle frame and foundation | Определение |
| Neodymium критически важный | Direct-drive permanent-magnet generators | Определение |
| Boron критически важный | The B in NdFeB magnet alloy | Важно |
| Praseodymium критически важный | Magnet alloy | Важно |
| Terbium критически важный | Heat resistance in the hottest designs | Важно |
| Zinc критически важный | Galvanised protection in a marine environment | Важно |
| Aluminium критически важный | Nacelle components and cabling | Настоящее время |
Copper
The reddish metal that carries electricity better than anything except silver, and which humans have been smelting…
Dysprosium
A heavy rare earth added in small amounts to magnets so they keep working when they get hot.
Iron & Steel
Iron with a little carbon in it, and the most-produced manufactured material on the planet.
Neodymium
The rare earth at the heart of the strongest magnet ever made — the kind in headphones, hard drives, wind turbines…
Boron
An element that makes glass resist thermal shock, fibreglass strong, and — with iron and neodymium — the strongest…
Praseodymium
Neodymium's near-twin, so alike that magnet makers usually do not bother separating the two and sell them together as…
