Aerospace engineers at the University of Central Florida are drawing global attention from around the world for their successful experiments in hypersonic propulsion. Their work would lead to safe and stabile hypersonic air travel in the future—that could fly passengers from Tampa to Los Angeles in a matter of minutes. Courtesy of FOX 13 Tampa […]
Unlocking the cause of pitting corrosion in 3D-printed stainless steel
Scientists from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), Livermore, Calif., delved into the mysterious world of pitting corrosion in additively manufactured (3D-printed) stainless steel 316L in seawater. Stainless steel 316L is a popular choice for marine applications due to its excellent combination of mechanical strength and corrosion resistance. This holds even more true after 3D printing, but even this resilient material isn’t immune to the scourge of pitting corrosion. The LLNL team used transmission electron microscopy and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy to do a deep-dive microscopy study to figure out what could potentially be responsible for corrosion.
