A novel 3D-printing process has opened up a new class of strong, ductile, tuneable titanium alloys that could potentially be made from waste products, without expensive additives like vanadium. It may ...

Engineers at Monash University have developed a new 3D-printable titanium alloy with a unique microstructure that makes it ultra-strong. Not only is it stronger than most other forms of titanium, but ...

A team of researchers has created a new class of titanium alloys that are strong and not brittle under tension, by integrating alloy and 3D-printing process designs. The breakthrough, published in the ...

Research teams from Tsinghua University and Anhui University of Technology have developed a novel post-processing technique using hot isostatic pressing (HIP) to improve the microstructure and wear ...

It used to be that, when designing a new military jet fighter, performance and capability took priority over cost. However, with the end of the cold war, defence contractors are finding that cost and ...

Engineers from RMIT University have produced a new type of 3D-printed titanium that’s about a third cheaper than commonly used titanium alloys. The team used readily available and cheaper alternative ...

Cryogenic treatment is the process of cooling items to cryogenic temperatures (temperatures below −190 °C, 83 K). This removes residual stresses in the material, improving wear resistance in metals ...

Although steel has been the workhorse of the automotive industry since the 1920s, the share by weight of steel and iron in an average light vehicle is now gradually decreasing, from 68.1 per cent in ...

(Nanowerk News) A team of researchers has created a new class of titanium alloys that are strong and not brittle under tension, by integrating alloy and 3D-printing process designs. The breakthrough, ...

A team of researchers has created a new class of titanium alloys that are strong and not brittle under tension, by integrating alloy and 3D-printing process designs. They say they embedded circular ...
