HORIZON MICROTECHNOLOGIES VALIDATES METALLISED MICRO-AM PARTS FOR SPACE WITH RIGOROUS THERMAL SHOCK TEST
The test subjected parts to 2,000 cycles of extreme temperature shifts (alternating between +125°C and -40°C). In each cycle, the parts were held at -40°C for 5 minutes and then transferred to a 125°C environment within 10s, and vice verse. This kind of temperature shock is a commonly used substitute for the rapid temperature changes that satellites in low earth orbits encounter when they transition from unprotected exposure to the sun into the earth's shadow.
