Skoltech researchers have used a 3D printer to fabricate samples of bronze-steel alloys previously unknown to materials science and investigated their mechanical characteristics. Blending the distinct properties of bronze and steel, the novel alloys could be used to manufacture combustion chambers for aircraft and rocket engines that would simultaneously benefit from steel’s ability to withstand […]
Superelastic conductor material with enhanced fatigue durability for implantable lead service
Fort Wayne Metals, Ind., has developed a new patent-pending technology to enhance the fatigue life of biostimulation leads. These are used in devices like pacemakers, implantable cardioverter defibrillators, deep brain stimulators, and spinal cord and peripheral nerve stimulators under development in Fort Wayne Metals R&D. Conventional leads employ a composite DFT wire with a […]
Spray Tips: Mechanical methods for producing thermal spray powders
The purposes of milling are many: to reduce the size of particles or agglomerates, to eliminate particle segregation or preferred orientation in single-phase particles or in multicomponent powder systems, and to homogeneously disperse the many components. Three basic stages are followed during the milling process: an initial rapid reduction in the size of aggregates, fracture […]
