2019 Taiwan Innotech Expo (TIE), the most indicative invention show in Asia, was concluded in Taipei World Trade Center Hall, attracting more than 45,000 domestic and international experts and citizens. Nearly 200 companies and colleges participated in the Taipei Invention Competition. The MIRDC exhibited the projects of “The Guide System of Die Adjustment for Screw Forming”, “High-Nitrogen Low-Nickel Austenite Stainless Steel Alloy and Method for Making the Same” and “Preparation of Bio-oil” winning two gold and one bronze medal awards and showing the pioneering innovative technologies as well as technical capabilities of MIRDC.
For the “The Guide System of Die Adjustment for Screw Forming” the optical imaging principles are adopted so the complex physical information of the holding block can be converted to deviatoric stress for mold adjustment quickly. By following the procedures of the guide system to finish the samplings of three screws, the system can obtain the analytical result by identifying the adjustment components of the head height, the length, the X and Y of eccentricity, etc. The mold adjustment time needed for fastener is reduced from 4 hours to 1 hour, and the standard requirement of the product dimension can be precisely and quickly obtained.
For the “High-Nitrogen Low-Nickel Austenite Stainless Steel Alloy and Method for Making the Same” the content of nickel is reduced by alloy design and increase of the nitrogen solubility in the production. Not only improves the high strength of carbon steel but also reduces the corrosion rate and cost of production. The corrosion resistance of this material is enhanced so that it can be used in offshore platforms, offshore facilities, and other related industries. “Preparation of Bio-oil” is enhanced by obtaining the preheated water in the preheating tank and then injecting it into the hydrothermal liquefaction reactor, so the processing time is greatly shortened. The advantages of time-saving and lower energy consumption can be achieved.
Dr. Lin Ren-Yi, the Chairman of the Board from MIRDC stated that by participating in the competition, the innovation of MIRDC in industrial technology could be demonstrated. MIRDC hoped to promote the commercialization and industrialization of the patented technology and explore more business opportunities through this technology interchange platform. More diversified solutions and perceptive technologies can be provided in the future so that the technical capabilities can infiltrate the industrial needs thoroughly and implement its application.
