1. Instruments that perform thermal cycling are readily available from commercial sources. 2. The IC packaging, likewise are less prone to thermal cycling . 3. Thermal cycle plants near the ocean have the option of using seawater.4. One was subjected to 17 thermal cycles without failing. 5. This ensures good thermal cycling performances ( up to 50, 000 cycles ). 6. They also are subject to mechanical fatigue caused by large number of thermal cycles . 7. This area experiences a high degree of thermal cycling and mechanical damage through vibration. 8. Such intermetallic growth, together with thermal cycling , can lead to failure of the bonding wires. 9. Since PCMs transform between solid liquid in thermal cycling , encapsulation naturally become the obvious storage choice. 10. These processes are all accelerated by the thermal cycling which occurs in many thermal barrier coating applications.
