Making a new material is one thing, explaining how you did it is another. Materials engineering Ph.D. candidate Jerry Howard excels at both. Howard developed a new “recipe” for making metallic glass ...

To enhance the printing consistency and reduce the fabrication cost, the recent progress on powder characterization, preparation, and reuse is systematically reviewed. Scientists from Nanjing ...

The film discusses the process of powder metallurgy, which involves creating metal parts from metal powders. It explains how metal powders are mixed, compacted under pressure, and subjected to heat to ...

A new breakthrough in the manufacturing of so called metallic glass, a material that is stronger than steel and titanium, could lead to a new generation of super-tough cell-phone cases and airplane ...

Spray drying is the name given to the rapid drying process of creating dry powders from liquid slurry. The liquid is typically sprayed with hot gas to accelerate the drying stage, which renders it ...

An array of powder-metal parts. Powder metallurgy was practiced long before ancient artisans learned to melt and cast iron. Egyptians made iron tools using PM techniques back in 3,000 B.C. The ancient ...

Quality aluminum frame glass partition systems combine transparency with engineering durability commercial environments ...

Developing optimized, and in some cases certified, metal powders for AM has been critical to progressing from a prototyping method to an established manufacturing technology. This transition has ...

(Nanowerk News) Oxidation can degrade the properties and functionality of metals. However, a research team co-led by scientists from City University of Hong Kong (CityU) recently found that severely ...
