Much like baking the perfect cake involves following a list of ingredients and instructions, manufacturing energetic materials—explosives, pyrotechnics and propellants—requires precise formulations, ...

India, Feb. 10 -- As cities grow denser and construction labour becomes harder to secure, the sector is under pressure to deliver projects faster, more efficiently and with fewer workers on site. In ...

The university's team reports that their approach centers on controlled "softening" of the material rather than complete melting. The process, known as hot-wire laser irradiation, reshapes ...

Metal that bends instead of breaking has been a dream of engineers since the first steel tools snapped on factory floors. A new generation of 3D printed alloys is pushing that dream closer to reality, ...

Researchers at Hiroshima University have developed a new 3D printing method for tungsten carbide–cobalt (WC–Co) that prevents cracking and damage that often occur with laser powder bed and other ...

Hard materials keep modern life moving, from drill bits to cutting tools. One of the toughest is tungsten carbide with cobalt ...

An NUS team led by Senior Lecturer Dr Du Hongjian (left) and Assoc Prof Pang Sze Dai (right) has successfully shown that 3D ...

The approach uses 3D printing to produce WC-Co cemented carbides - ultra-hard materials used in cutting and construction ...

Tungsten carbide–cobalt (WC–Co) is prized for its hardness, but that same property makes it unusually difficult to shape. The current process is ...
