SECO/WARWICK USA, Meadville, Pa., announced that a leading international aircraft motion-control manufacturer has placed a repeat order for an identical low-temperature vacuum tempering furnace, following the success of the first unit installed at the customer’s facility. The new furnace is designed for tempering, ageing, and other sub-critical heat-treat processes, with a maximum operating temperature of […]

Microgravity is Changing Advanced Materials in Space Manufacturing

In microgravity environments, liquids behave differently, crystal structures can form more uniformly and impurities do not settle in the same way they do under Earth’s gravity. These changes may allow scientists and aerospace engineers to manufacture certain materials with properties that are difficult to achieve in conventional factories.
