What is prototyping in mica manufacturing?

Mica manufacturers produce a wide range of mica insulation products for industrial thermal and electrical insulation applications. Prototyping is the process of creating industrial thermal and/or electrical products or solutions from scratch. Mica manufacturers who have an in-house team of professional engineers develop customized thermal and electrical management solutions for clients.

 


What is included in the process of prototyping?

 

The process of prototyping includes designing, developing, and testing. Mica manufacturers create the blueprints, create physical products, and test them to find out how the original concept works when tested in real conditions. For companies that do not have resources to develop thermal solutions, prototyping helps them develop bespoke thermal insulation for their industrial thermal and electrical insulation applications. 

 

How is fabrication different from prototyping?

 

Fabrication is the process of cutting, shaping, molding, pressing, and assembling mica material to create mica components and products that meet the customer specifications. The advanced cutting technologies and equipment such as laser, knife, and water jet cutting technologies and automated, high speed, flat-bed and rotary die-cutters, multi-layer-capable laminators allow mica manufacturers to create products as per the client’s drawing requirements. Fabrication and machining capabilities allow manufacturers to rivet, glue, swage, and bolt these parts together to create finished products as per the drawing requirements.

 


Mica manufacturers with custom fabrication capabilities enhance the range of mica manufacturing services for clients as they do not have to stick to standard produced parts.

How is Mica Used for Electric Vehicle Battery Insulation?

Image
Electric vehicles are the future. The ban on petrol and diesel vehicles is going to roll out by 2030. Thus, the transition to electric vehicles is inevitable. Electric vehicle technology is still in the early stages and thus expensive.  Apart from making efficient battery systems, manufacturers need to ensure that electric vehicle battery systems are safe. The electric vehicle battery pack needs to be insulated thermally and electrically to ensure safety. In this post, we will look at how mica material is used for electric vehicle battery insulation.   Mica Battery Pack Insulation  Mica battery pack insulation is used as a high-temperature incombustible barrier around battery packs and to electrically insulate the battery pack from other critical components of an electric vehicle. Axim Mica mica car battery pack insulation comes with the UL-94 rating and CE and ROHS certifications. You can partner with Axim Mica to design a customized battery pack insulation. Axim h...

A Short Guide on Two Popular Types of Mica Sheets!

Image
Mica is a naturally occurring material that comes in 37 different varieties.  However, only two forms of mica—phlogopite and muscovite—out of the 37 variants are utilized for industrial insulating purposes. Although they come in sheet form, they must first be transformed into powder before being used to create a variety of mica industrial insulation products. Each of these two forms of mica has characteristics that make them suited for a variety of uses in numerous sectors. Read out the below blog to learn about two popular types of micasheets . Types of Mica sheets   Phlogopite Mica Sheets:   The mica sheets that remain stable up to 900°C are known as phlogopite mica sheets. They come in both flexible and rigid forms. The thermal insulation properties of phlogopite mica sheets are different from muscovite mica sheets. Phlogopite mica, out of all the different types of mica, offers the best thermal insulating properties. There are a variety of colors, i...

What is the role of safety certifications of mica sheets in the industry?

Image
Mica sheets are used in various industries for thermal and electrical insulation applications. They are used at high operating temperatures up to 1600 degree cel sius and in high voltage environments. Therefore, it is very important to ensure that mica sheets are safe for use. That’s where the role of  mica sheets  comes into play. The certifications are gained by rigorously testing the product under controlled conditions. Regarding mica sheets, the UL rating is the global industrial safety standard.  Other region-specific fire resistance classifications, such as BS 479 (class 1) and NBN 21-203 (A1), are also used to approve thermal and electrical insulation products. In this post, we will focus on the UL-rating of mica sheets. What are UL standards for safety? UL is a global safety certification company that certifies a wide range of products used in both industrial and commercial applications. If a product is listed or UL certified, the product is globally accepte...
