A team at the Research Institute for Electronic Science at Hokkaido University, Japan, has synthesized a barium cobalt oxide thermoelectric converter that is reproducibly stable and efficient at temperatures as high as 600°C, opening new avenues towards the widespread use of thermoelectric converters.
Video description This video from Ekeeda explains the carbonitriding process for ferrous alloys. Carbonitriding increases the surface hardness of metals thereby reducing wear.
Video description An overview of shape memory materials and their applications, with a detailed look at the Dynalloy Space Wings II and other research performed as part of the University of Michigan’s SURE Program.
Austenitizing is the most critical of all heating operations performed on tool steels. Along with quenching it will usually be referred to as the hardening step in tool steel heat treatment and, associated with tempering, will be responsible for the final properties.
ECM Technologies, France, has signed a partnership to develop high value-added solutions for the thermal treatment of 3D printed metal parts with AddUp, a major player in the field of metal additive manufacturing.
