Next-generation technology requires next-generation materials that can be tailored to exact mission requirements. Additive ...

Artificial intelligence has just helped push one of the world’s most familiar metals into unfamiliar territory. By teaming advanced algorithms with 3D printing, researchers have created a new aluminum ...

Researchers at Tohoku University have developed a new technique to identify the initiation sites of a destructive process ...

Microscope image showing the layered structure of a new 3D-printed aluminum alloy. The wave-like patterns are “melt pools,” traces left by the laser as it melted metal powder layer by layer. The small ...

(Nanowerk News) It is estimated that over 80% of engineering failures are due to material fatigue, so the fight against metal fatigue failures continues, as this is a key parameter for lightweight ...

AA2024 is a heat-treatable aluminum-copper alloy that comprises aluminum, copper, magnesium, silicon, iron, and manganese. It provides an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, high tensile strength, and ...

Cornell researchers have adopted an innovative approach to studying the emergence of microstructure in a 3D-printed metal alloy. They used X-Ray bombardment during the printing process. Doctoral ...

The study includes the manufacturing process of super-invar alloy of WAAM, the relationship between micro-structure and G/R, the mechanical properties and the CTE. The main transfer mode of liquid ...
