Droplets entering the plasma undergo rapid vaporization, solute supersaturation, and precipitation, leading to different shell formation and breakup routes during thermal spray processing.
The September 2025 issue of Advanced Materials & Processes magazine has an editorial focus on Advanced Manufacturing.
Engineers Chris Kantzos and Tim Smith from the NASA Glenn Research Center in Cleveland can now call themselves inventors. They are the minds behind NASA Glenn’s breakthrough material, GRX-810. Their superalloy, developed for extreme conditions of air and spaceflight, was selected as NASA’s Commercial Invention of the Year for 2025. It was picked for its […]
The U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) is dedicated to solving the nation’s most complex challenges in civil and military engineering, geospatial sciences, water resources, and environmental sciences. As part of its mission to maintain technological superiority and strengthen defense infrastructure, ERDC’s Geotechnical and Structures Laboratory, in collaboration with the Information Technology Laboratory, […]
To control the distortion that occurs both during and after heat treatment, proper consideration must be given to such factors as design, composition, initial condition, machining procedure, and heat treatment. The design of a tool-steel part directly affects the susceptibility to shape distortion on heating and cooling. Limitations imposed by the design on composition, machining […]
