NASA Glenn and Boeing partner to test shape memory alloys in airplane winglets
Researchers at NASA Glenn Research Laboratory, Cleveland, have partnered with Boeing to test how shape-memory alloys can be used in deployable vortex generators (VGs), the tiny fins on airplane wings that help control airflow during flight.
One Minute Mentor: Carbonitriding
In addition to having many of the same benefits as carburizing, carbonitriding also has the added benefit of nitrogen diffused in the surface layer, which stabilizes retained austenite.
