Coventya’s Center for Excellence for Functional Technologies in Oriskany, New York has added new instrumentation to their Material Science division to offer new capabilities and improve throughput and accuracy of techniques to provide added value for their customers.
The Struers – DuraScan-20 is a microhardness tester that has state-of-the-art load control via combined load cell and dead weight technology ensuring highest degree of accuracy and repeatability; a high resolution CCD camera; and the ability to export data to secondary software for data interpretation and manipulation
The Struers – Tegramin-30 is an autopolisher that has advanced method development to provide consistency for full range of sample types; affords consistent reproducible results for polishing of both mounted and un-mounted samples; and has two 6-sample sample holders yield increased throughput for routine micro-hardness, thickness and failure analyses.
The Q-Lab – Q-Fog SSP600 is a neutral salt spray tester that has a large chamber (640L) to accommodate numerous customer samples at one time; test conditions, time and temperature are controlled by a built-in microprocessor; and has an internal Q-FOG controller

NASF/AESF Foundation Research Project #122: Electrochemical Approaches to Treatment of PFAS in Plating Wastewater - 7th Quarterly Report
The NASF-AESF Foundation Research Board has selected a project on addressing the problem of PFAS and related chemicals in plating wastewater streams, studying PFAS destruction via electrooxidation and electrocoagulation. Our last report described the results from experiments of EO with a Magnéli phase Ti4O7 anode on the degradation of eight perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs). In this seven quarter report, we describe work to further explore how the degradation of different PFAAs are related to their molecular structures.

NASF/AESF Foundation Research Project #120: Electrochemical Destruction of Perfluorooctanesulfonate in Electroplating Wastewaters – January – December 2023
This NASF-AESF Foundation research project report covers quarterly reporting for the year 2023 at the University of Illinois at Chicago. The objective of this work is to utilize a cost-effective reactive electrochemical membrane (REM) for the removal of PFAS from synthetic electroplating wastewater. Discussed here are the oxidation of PFOA with three different catalysts, development of a method for detecting PFAS, as well as work on 6:2-fluorotelomersulfonic acid (6:2 FTS) and electrodeposited bismuth/tin oxide catalysts.
