3D printing of stainless steel parts This video from How It’s Made shows the process of building stainless steel parts by 3D printing. Three-dimensional metal printers can build parts faster and cheaper than conventional casting or machining. They build objects from successive layers of stainless steel powders that are then fused together at high temperatures. […]
Olympus Corp., Waltham, Mass., a world leader in nondestructive testing technologies, is pleased to announce the release of the 27MG Ultrasonic Thickness Gage is designed to make accurate measurements from one side on internally corroded or eroded metal pipes and structures.
Ever-shrinking electronic devices could get down to atomic dimensions with the help of transition metal oxides, a class of materials that seems to have it all: superconductivity, magnetoresistance and other exotic properties.
Research from North Carolina State University, Raleigh, finds that impurities can hurt performance—or possibly provide benefits—in a key superconductive material that is expected to find use in a host of applications, including future particle colliders.
Americans generate nearly 300 million scrap tires every year, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Historically, these worn tires often end up in landfills or, when illegally dumped, become breeding grounds for disease-carrying mosquitoes and rodents. They also pose a potential fire hazard.
