The video shows how heat, fluid, and solute intertwine during the melting and solidification of metal in a 3D printing process. As the laser melts the metal, the molten pool flows and mixes with the ...

“What is additive manufacturing?” 3D printing is the simple answer. By creating alloys and metal prints with 3D printing, the metal additive manufacturing process creates parts and prototypes while ...

In the dynamic landscape of materials science and engineering, academic journals serve as the lifeblood for disseminating cutting-edge research findings and propelling the advancement of the ...

During eutectic solidification, a mixture of two or more solids self-assemble, forming composite microstructures ranging from ordered layers to intricate maze-like patterns that underlie properties ...

Sneha Narra, associate professor of mechanical engineering at Carnegie Mellon University, will present “Multi-scale ...

In an advance that could lead to improved manufacturing, a new study by UCLA researchers shows that adding nanoparticles to metals during the melting process allows for better control during melting.

In advanced metallurgy, semiconductor manufacturing, and aerospace component production, single crystal furnaces and directional solidification furnaces are two core thermal processing equipment. Both ...

Also known as 3D printing, additive manufacturing (AM) is a disruptive new manufacturing technique that is employed to create metallic parts with enhanced mechanical properties in contrast to other ...

Just as a snowflake’s intricate structure vanishes when it melts and transforms when it refreezes, the microstructure of metals can change during the 3D printing process, resulting in strengths or ...
