From hypersonic aircraft to nuclear-powered submarines, many of today's most advanced defense systems rely on a special class ...

Scientists at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have developed a new way to ...

The manipulation of metals as they transform from a liquid to a solid can have immense benefits for technologies. A new study finds that the manipulation of stationary atoms in a liquid metal can ...

Droplet flight and solidification behaviors during twin-wire arc sprayed (TWAS) composite coatings were systematically investigated. Both theoretical model and numerical method were established for ...

High school science misses a lot of the science researchers actually work with. For example, you learn that there are three states of matter—solid, liquid, and gas—but in advanced physics, things get ...

316L austenitic stainless steel is widely used in petrochemicals, mechanical structural components, biomaterials and marine steels due to its excellent corrosion and mechanical resistance properties 1 ...

Charles R. Goulding and Preeti Sulibhavi lead the charge into a new age of metals by reporting on how MIT engineers are leveraging machine learning and 3D printing to transform ordinary aluminum into ...

Researchers observed how metal microstructures evolve during 3D printing, offering insights to improve strength, reliability, and design of advanced components. In a form of additive manufacturing, ...

The team led by Zhang Shouchun, a researcher at the Institute of Coal Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has made progress in the field of carbon fibre microstructure research, and published a ...

In the production of ductile iron, it is essential to control the chemical composition of melting, as this directly affects mechanical properties and final microstructure of the fabricated parts.

ITHACA, N.Y. -- Just as a snowflake’s intricate structure vanishes when it melts and transforms when it refreezes, the microstructure of metals can change during the 3D printing process, resulting in ...
