As a clean burning fuel, hydrogen represents a promising and more sustainable future for the energy sector. Despite its benefits, however, the advancement and adoption of hydrogen as an energy…
In many important materials programs, the first useful quantity is much smaller. A research team may need enough powder to compare three or four variations of a new composition. A…
Elmet Technologies, a wholly owned subsidiary of The Elmet Group Co. (NASDAQ: ELMT) and the sole US-owned and vertically integrated tungsten and molybdenum manufacturer, secured $4.3 million in strategic funding…
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have developed a laser-stirring method for metal additive manufacturing that addresses one of the more persistent obstacles in producing high-entropy…
Researchers at the US Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory developed DuAlumin-3D, a 3D printable aluminum alloy designed for high-temperature applications in aerospace and automotive components. The alloy, which…
Continuum Powders, a Houston-based materials supplier specializing in plasma-gas atomization of high-value metal powders for advanced manufacturing, has introduced Custom Foundry Runtime (CFR), a new service giving manufacturers, researchers, and…
Scandium Canada has signed a mutual non-disclosure agreement with the University of Waterloo to establish a research collaboration focused on the additive manufacturing of aluminum-scandium (Al-Sc) alloys, with an initial…
Sandvik has signed an agreement to sell its Additive Manufacturing business unit to Mimir, a global investment firm headquartered in Sweden. The unit, which sits within Sandvik’s Machining business area,…
Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have developed a cold plate design workflow that pairs topology optimization (TO) with electrochemical additive manufacturing (ECAM) to produce pure-copper liquid-cooling components with…
Researchers at Saarland University have demonstrated an elastocaloric cooling and heating system that uses no refrigerants and no fossil fuels, and which relies instead on the physical properties of nickel-titanium,…
