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

Manufacturers rely on tungsten carbide–cobalt for tools that must survive extreme wear. Yet shaping ...

Manufacturing energetic materials such as explosives, pyrotechnics and propellants requires precise formulations and tightly controlled conditions, as even small changes can significantly alter ...

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 ...

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 ...

Thermoset polymers underpin many high-performance applications because covalent cross-linking yields stability, chemical resistance, and robust mechanics.

Japanese researchers from Hiroshima University, Higashi-Hiroshima, and Mitsubishi Materials Hardmetal Corporation, Gifu, have ...

To meet the growing demand for high-performance, lightweight, and intelligent materials in the aerospace, automotive, and energy/power sectors, engineering ...

Metal that bends instead of breaking has been a dream of engineers since the first steel tools snapped on factory floors. A ...

Titomic has signed a Space Act Agreement with NASA to test cold spray manufactured components, a move that could push ...
