Using a custom-built machine to launch microprojectiles at supersonic speeds, Cornell researchers, Ithaca, N.Y., have uncovered new details about how high-speed metallic collisions can form strong, durable atomic bonds, offering insights that could enhance 3D printing and other manufacturing techniques.
This overview presents 20 historical studies on suspension plasma spray methods, including research by Podlesak et al. that examines the effects of spray distance and plasma power level on the microstructure of suspension plasma-sprayed hydroxyapatite (HA).
The November/December 2024 issue of Advanced Materials & Processes magazine has an editorial focus on Testing and Characterization.
CycloTech is preparing to test a new electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft demonstrator featuring its innovative CycloRotor propulsion system. The CycloTech BlackBird demonstrator will have six CycloRotors strategically integrated into the aircraft’s design with two positioned along its longitudinal axis. The aircraft’s unique propulsion system ensures a smooth, turbulence free ride even during […]
Heat treatment of tool steels means several phase transformations. Every phase transformation must be described by start amount, end amount, and kinetics (change of phases depending on temperature and time). Start and end amount can be calculated with different thermodynamic software. For example, Thermocalc is well validated for tool steels. The most common method for […]
