Editor's Notes
- Group strategic priorities- Focus on higher growth, higher margin, non-economically cyclical markets Be innovative, differentiated and high value-added to our customers - Be number one or number two in our chosen market segments Have a culture of operational excellence and cost efficiency - Find, keep and develop the right people
- Morgan Crucible offers a wide range of materials and sub assembly capabilityDevelopment of graphite material for the anode of Lithium Ion batteriesAlumina components used as feedthroughs in medical implants (cardiac, cochlear)
- Morgan Solar Grade Insulation materials show a higher purity and less particle generation in use; these have proven to directly impact the quality of the silicon manufactured. The higher quality silicon produced influences the cell efficiencies that the final solar cells can achieve. Achieving higher cell efficiency means both a reduction of cost of energy as well as an improved power density
- The UK Government has announced it wants SMART meters to be rolled-out to all domestic customers by 2020 and larger business customers over five years from early 2009.
- MTC works at the component level and has the possibility to offer a more complete product if requiredIncluding over-moulding and metal inserts, cabling
- Applications Engineers work with customers to establish operating conditions and design constraintsCombining our materials expertise, market understanding and expert knowledge of our global manufacturing capabilities, we create innovative engineered solutions for our customersOptimally designed end product solutions or prototypes result>90% of products developed at Morgan are non standard and made to customer specific requirements
- 17 formulations available in the UKUniform pressure applied on the ceramic powder for improved homogeneityImproved density and piezoelectric properties (permittivity, charge and voltage stress constants)Operations running in low cost countries
- These formulations are commercially available now.
- PZT special wire slicing technique produces super flat surface finish which reduces surfaces imperfections during assembly processSpecial polarisation techniques allow MTC to control the level of polarisation and remove residual stresses within the geometry (improved lifetime)Proven technology used in harsh textile market for the last 25 years
- We actively support universities (UCL), Dublin, worldwide on EH projects.2014 – The first step is to create one or more standard piezoelectric components for EH (bimoprh, unimorph, block).Create a full datasheet enabling design engineers to model the component is computer packages COMSOL, ANSYSThe second step is to create a dedicated electronic EH module matched to our component (impedance matching).This should help accelerate the development of projects and achieve commercial solutions to simple wireless transmissions, etc...
