Bio-inspired materials (BIM) are synthetic materials whose structure and properties are similar to natural materials or living matter. These materials have the potential to advance structural materials, textiles and protective equipment due to their durability and self-healing properties. Dr. Vanessa Restrepo, assistant professor in the J. Mike Walker ’66 Department of Mechanical Engineering, and her […]

This video describes Hermeus and their vision to create a passenger plane capable of flying at Mach 5–2.5 times faster than the Concorde.
For stainless martensitic grades and carbon steel up to certain thickness, the two-stage molten metal quenching is successfully converted into hydrogen quenching with big advantages in quality, including oxide-free and lead-free surfaces. Cooling gradients of up to 300 K/s are possible. Martensitic chromium steels with 13% Cr and 0.2 to 0.4% C are used to […]
