Sandia-Developed Alloy Has Potential for Electronics in Wells

On April 3, 2013, in Energy, Geothermal, Materials Science, News, News & Events, Renewable Energy, Research & Capabilities, Systems Engineering

A few years ago, researchers asked Sandia’s geothermal group to develop electronics to monitor well conditions in field operations—withstanding high temperatures and pressures, excessive vibrations, and other extreme environments. Most brazing processes occur at a peak temperature above about 700° C, while most soldering occurs below 350° C, leaving high-temperature electronics few filler materials from which to [...]
