Focus on Data[Permalink]
Technical data can be expensive and difficult to obtain--collecting it, organizing it, analyzing it. Any time you have something someone else doesn't have, you need to retain that advantage and put it to work.
C.Y. Ho, former director of Purdue's Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis, demonstrating how stacks of paper can be condensed into one handbook, the predecessor to CINDAS LLC's online databases.
Our New Home[Permalink]
This month CINDAS LLC became only the second non-Purdue entity to lease space in the new Purdue Technology Center-Aerospace building in the Purdue Research Park Aerospace District just west of the Purdue main campus in West Lafayette.
Although our previous space served us well since 2007, the new location in the Purdue Research Park Aerospace District
will be a perfect fit for our company. The 980-acre aerospace district is a flagship for public and private aerospace research and
development to advance aviation and aeronautics innovation. The site has been named an Indiana Certified Technology Park
by the Indiana Economic Development Corporation.

What's New: Product Updates[Permalink]
January 2018-Inconel 783 added to ASMD, HPAD and AHAD:
This is a superalloy widely used in aircraft gas turbines, steam turbines and marine turbine engines, as well as turbochargers, exhaust valves and other components of reciprocating engines.
May 2018-Major Update to Ti 38-6-44 (Beta C) added to ASMD and AHAD:
Beta C Titanium is a widely used alloy that has a high strength to weight ratio and can be heat treated to yield strengths levels higher than Ti-6Al-4V. The
original chapter on Beta C in the ASMD was written and published in 1975; this new revised chapter incorporated all the significant new work
done on the alloy since that time. Applications for the alloy include aircraft landing
gear components, springs for aircraft and high-performance vehicles, naval ship components, space vehicle structures,
missile components, and casing equipment for gas and oil well operations.

New Learn Link on CINDAS Homepage[Permalink]
Recently we added a new link (LEARN) on our webpage: https://cindasdata.com/learn. Here you can find everything you need to know about how to use the CINDAS LLC databases and on-line handbooks.
Under this tab you will find a general presentation about our databases as well as an instructional video demonstration from a live training session. There are also PowerPoint presentations on the ASMD/AHAD, TPMD, SAH, and DTDH.
Another invaluable tool assembled by our associate Helen Josephine is the LibGuides feature. Using it will allow librarians to incorporate content from our LibGuides into your libraries' content: https://cindasdata.libguides.com/userinfo.
Besides giving thorough descriptions of the products and their use, the pages show how to cite various CINDAS sources in documents and how to request a webinar for training.
Try it, you'll like it!
--- It is not enough for knowledge to exist; it must be communicated to those who can apply it judiciously. ---
Requests for Training[Permalink]
Please review the CINDAS instructional video demonstration of a live training session on the new CINDAS LEARN link: https://cindasdata.com/learn
PowerPoint presentations are also available for all the CINDAS products: ASMD/AHAD, TPMD, SAH, and DTDH.

Materials Used in Commercial Jet Engines[Permalink]
Alloys in the ASMD and AHAD are used extensively throughout jet engines and land based turbines. The applications include:
Performance, durability and predictability are essential for these critical rotating and high temperature applications. Alloys that are widely used have extensive materials characteristic data in the ASMD and AHAD including:
| 600 | A-286 | Haynes 25, L-605 | X-45 |
| 606 | N-155 | Haynes 263 | Ti 6Al-4V |
| 625 | M-509 | Haynes 230 | Ti 679 |
| 706 | M-246 | Haynes 188 | Ti-6-2-4-6 |
| 713C | M-247 | CMSX-4 | Ti 48-2-2 |
| 738 | IN 100 | Rene 41 | Ti 17 |
