Modern salt bath nitrocarburizing units can be arranged as fully automated and contained lines and usually consist of an air-preheating furnace, one or several salt bath nitrocarburizing furnaces, which can either be heated electrically or by gas combustion, and a cooling unit that can be an oxidizing salt bath. Such oxidizing posttreatment builds up a thin and dense oxide layer on top of the compound layer that significantly increases the corrosion resistance.  Online monitoring of

Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, have achieved a significant breakthrough in the field of metal additive manufacturing (AM), specifically with Al–Cu alloys like AA2024, which are prevalent in the aerospace and automotive industries.  These alloys are known for their high strength and good fatigue resistance but have been notoriously difficult to work with in additive manufacturing due to issues like hot cracking and other solidification defects. The UCLA team has successfully developed
