The revenues of the Group have significantly grown, despite the deep international crisis, thanks to the substantial stability of all the business areas and the excellent performance of the Semiconductors business, which recorded its best sales ever in the history of this sector, achieved also thanks to the diversification strategy undertaken in recent years. The strong action undertaken to contain costs, which started a few years ago, has allowed to improve the operating result, despite a slight decline in the gross margin. The expectation of recovery of the previous tax losses of the major Italian companies, made possible by the excellent future business prospects, has led to close the income statement with a high net income. To complete this really positive picture there is a significant improvement in the net financial position. The fiscal year 2011, as well as giving us satisfaction for the results achieved, was definitely a year of great importance for the future of the SAES Group. The new products, developed by the research department over the last few years, recorded their first sales even in sectors where the Group was not present and will contribute to the revenues’ growth. Other new products will start giving revenues in 2012, a success for research and innovation activities always committed to support sales growth. In the field of shape memory alloys, which for years was one of the pillars of the Group, we launched a new important business initiative, the joint venture Actuator Solutions GmbH, for the development and production of devices using SMA wires or springs as a functional element. This is a new positioning in the value chain, which will significantly contribute to the value growth of SAES, both as a shareholder in and as a supplier of strategic materials for the new joint venture. These results are the outcome of the continuous commitment of the human resources who work in our Group and who are the real asset of SAES and that we have defended even during the difficult crisis of the recent years. For them, sincere thanks. Many thanks also to you shareholders, especially the historical ones, that even in moments of difficulty believed in our ability to innovate and supported us. Dr Ing.

However, we believe that EBITDA is an important parameter for measuring the Group’s performance. Since the calculation of EBITDA is not regulated by applicable accounting standards, the method applied by the Group may not be homogeneous with methods adopted by other groups. EBITDA is defined as “earnings before interests, taxes, depreciation and amortization”. (3) It includes the net loss from assets held for sales and discontinued operations (equal to +292 thousand of euro in 2011 and +63 thousand of euro in the fiscal year 2010).

Due to geographic and industrial diversification, the Group benefited from the recovery of some markets, resulting in an improvement of the consolidated operating profit as compared to the second half of 2001. With reference to the Components Aggregate, the Group registered a positive turnaround in sales of barium getters due to the recovery of the cathode ray tube market. Sales of mercury dispensers for cold cathode fluorescent lamps were quite good, because of the rise of the liquid crystal display market.

The cast alloys showed lower transformation hysteresis width in DSC measurements than binary Ni-Ti, but struggled to achieve a near zero hysteresis, as predicted by the theoretical framework, despite being close to satisfy the first Co-Factor condition (CC I) that foresees minimum hysteresis for formulations in which the middle eigenvalue of the martensitic transformation matrix λ2 approaches one. The microstructure of the annealed Ni-Ti-Cu-Pd alloys exhibited a considerable amount of mostly sub-micron-sized secondary phases, which distort the matrix composition and prevent it from reaching the optimum Citation: Lemke, J.N.; Gallino, F.; stoichiometry for satisfying the CC I. In addition, this class of materials is prone to aging effects, Cresci, M.; Zilio, S.; Coda, A. leading to the formation of semi-coherent tetragonal precipitates, which tend to also form at the grain Low-Hysteresis Shape Memory Alloy boundaries after low-temperature annealing, further affecting the transformation hysteresis in DSC Scale-Up: DSC, XRD and experiments depending on the thermal history.

    KfK 5104 November 1992 Gas Purification by Use of Hot Metal Getter Beds --- ---- H. Albrecht Institut für Radiochemie Projekt Kernfusion Kernforschungszentrum Karlsruhe -----~---~---~~---~---- ---- --------- -- KERNFORSCHUNGSZENTRUM KARLSRUHE Institut für Radiochemie Projekt Kernfusion KtK 5104 Gas Purification by Use of Hot Metal Getter Beds H. Albrecht Kernforschungszentrum Karlsruhe GmbH, Karlsruhe Als Manuskript gedruckt Für diesen Bericht behalten wir uns alle Rechte vor Kernforschungszentrum Karlsruhe GmbH Postfach 3640, 7500 Karlsruhe 1 ISSN 0303-4003 Abstract An experimental program is described which was performed in the frame of a tritium technology task for the NET/ITER fusion fuel cycle. The aim was to investigate comrnercial gas purifiers containing metallic getters for the purifi­ cation of gas streams such as the plasma exhaust gas. Five purifiers with up to 3000g of getter material were tested in the PEGASUS facility mainly with respect to the removal of methane, which is known to be much more diffi cult to remove than other impurities like o2 , N2, or CO. Results are reported on - the reaction rate constants for the sorption of methane as a function of temperature, gas flow rate, and getter material, - the occurrence of cosorption effects caused by the presence of CO, N2 , and H2 in the test gas, - the enhacement of CH4 sorption efficiency by continuous removal of hydrogen. It was found that cosorption effects leading to the for­ mation of additional methane can be suppressed by using two getter beds in series: the first operated at 250-300°C to remove o2 , CO, C02, H20, and some N2; the second operated at 500-600°C to remove hydrocarbons and the residual amounts of other impurities (mainly N2).
