Laser-assisted 3D printing shapes ultra-hard tungsten carbide while cutting waste
Manufacturers rely on tungsten carbide–cobalt for tools that must survive extreme wear. Yet shaping ...
Hard materials keep modern life moving, from drill bits to cutting tools. One of the toughest is tungsten carbide with cobalt ...
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 ...
Researchers demonstrated that additive manufacturing can produce defect-free WC–Co cemented carbides with industrial-level ...
Tungsten carbide–cobalt (WC–Co) is prized for its hardness, but that same property makes it unusually difficult to shape. The ...
Scientists based at Hiroshima University have devised a novel way of 3D printing with one of hardest engineering materials ...
Driven by tight spot raw material supply, a sharp hike in corporate long-term contract prices and festive effects, the ...
Driven by tight spot raw material supply, a sharp hike in corporate long-term contract prices and festive effects, the tungsten market saw price rises on shrinking volumes this week with domestic and ...
Tungsten carbide–cobalt (WC–Co) is prized for its hardness, but that same property makes it unusually difficult to shape. The current process is ...

The unused plutonium core that kept a third atomic strike within reach
On August 10, 1945, a handwritten note on a major wartime document placed an additional restriction on the atomic age, which was: “It is not to be released over Japan without express authority from ...
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 ...
