Solar Atmospheres of California (SCA), Fontana, has completed its most recent facility expansion, allowing it to double its current heat treating capacity on the west coast.
In this video, NASA conducts a flight test to investigate the ability of a shape-memory alloy to fold the outer portions of wings in flight. NASA Glenn Research Center in Cleveland provided the nickel-titanium alloy, and worked with Boeing Research & Technology to integrate the material into an actuator. The alloy is triggered by temperature […]
Furnace atmosphere circulation is at the heart of the heat treatment process: without thorough circulation of gases, heat treatment processes cannot achieve consistent results in terms of surface quality and mechanical properties.
Researchers at the National Research Council of Canada (NRC), Ottawa, have reportedly developed a method to produce permanent magnets for electric motors by cold spray metal additive manufacturing.
The Carnegie Institution for Science, Washington, D.C., reports that its researchers have synthesized a long-sought form of titanium nitride, Ti3N4, which has promising mechanical and optoelectronic properties.
