It's a well-known characteristic of metals that repeated bending in the same place can cause the material to weaken and eventually break; this phenomenon, known as metal fatigue, can cause serious ...

Researchers have determined formulas to guide development of a promising new high-tech material, composed of insulating metal oxides known as alkaline-earth-metal binary oxides, that could lead to ...

A new method facilitates fine-tuning defects in a special class of crystalline materials called metal organic frameworks (MOFs). The approach could lead to the development of more effective compounds ...

(Nanowerk News) University of Wisconsin-Madison engineers have found a way to simultaneously mitigate three types of defects in parts produced using a prominent additive manufacturing technique called ...

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, has drastically improved the uniformity and speed of metal parts manufacturing, but the printed parts are often plagued with defects, ...

Designing the right scan path, and laser intensity along that path, is key to turning out quality metal parts using laser powder-bed fusion. The most popular 3D printing process for making metal parts ...
