A recent development in the area of high temperature and UV stable polymers, which offers solutions to many existing packaging and reliability challenges of electronics industry, is described. Packaging, protection and reliability of various electronic devices and component, including PCB's, MEMS, optoelectronic devices, fuel cell components and nano-electronic parts are, becoming more challenging due to their long-term performance requirements. This high temperature polymer, named Parylene HT, offers solutions to many existing protective, packaging and reliability issues in the electronics and medical industries, in part because of its excellent electrical and mechanical properties, chemical inertness and long-term thermal stability at high temperature exposure (up to 350°C long-term and short-term at 450 °C). Experimental results and trial runs demonstrate the ability of Parylene HT coating to meet the growing requirements of higher dielectric capabilities, higher temperature integrity, mechanical processing, etc. of a dynamic electronics industry. In addition, Parylene HT polymer coating truly conforms to parts due to its molecular level deposition characteristics. Its suitability and biocompatibility encourage researchers to explore Parylene HT's role in sensors and in active electronic devices for various industries.

This paper reviews the metallurgy and behavior of centrifugally cast heat-resistant alloys for ammonia, methanol, and hydrogen reformer furnaces. The alloys include HK and HP, as well as proprietary versions of these materials produced by various foundries. Alloying and metallurgical factors that affect resistance to oxidation, carburization, and high temperature creep are discussed. Examples of the effects of environment and temperature on material behavior are provided. Finally, the use of material properties to predict the long-term performance of reformer furnace components is reviewed.

This paper addresses a major challenge facing deepwater production of oil and gas: how to assure continuous flow of product under the pressures and temperatures found on the ocean floor. Syntactic foam promises to overcome the limitations exhibited by conventional insulation materials in the past. New hybrid glass and polymer chemistries with improved “hot, wet” performance survive in conditions that were formerly thought impossible. This paper presents the latest laboratory test data on these new materials, and proposes models for predicting long-term performance.

Testing techniques were developed to investigate the long-term behaviour of stuffing box packings under real service conditions. This equipment meets all requirements for the simulation of high temperature applications with gaseous fluids, hot water and steam: • controlled pre-tightening (gland load); • variation of the stiffness of the assembly (e.g. Bellville springs); • determination and monitoring of packing stress - respective gland load; • control of stroke and stem force; • heating-up, pressurization and temperature control; • conditioning of water and steam chemistry. All relevant influencing parameters on the long-term behaviour of varied stuffing box packings based on flexible Graphite, woven PTFE fibres and special packing designs were taken into consideration: • assembly procedure (packing stress); • stroke and number of cycles; • effect of Bellville springs; • medium and temperature. In detail, friction, relaxation and leakage tests were carried out. On the basis of these results an evaluation of the long-term performance of the different packing types based on Graphite and PTFE is possible.
