Researchers at IMDEA Materials Institute have developed a streamlined and industrially scalable methodology to design and control microstructure in nickel-based superalloys manufactured by laser ...

The surface properties of some steel alloys can be adjusted through the introduction of specific elements via diffusion. An example of such a process is nitriding, where nitrogen is diffused into the ...

In a world of 8 billion people, there's one thing that makes each of us unique: our fingerprints. A variety of genetic and environmental factors create tiny variations in the skin's ridges and whorls, ...

The common engineering ceramic materials can be identified as Aluminium Oxide (Alumina), Silicon Carbide, Silicon Nitride, Sialon and Zirconia. These materials are classified as “Engineering” or ...

Pressure tube deformation is an important aging issue in operating heavy water reactors (HWRs) and the R&D community continues to develop improved predictive models for in-reactor deformation. To ...

AZoMaterials speaks to Dr. Simon Bates and Dr. Angela Criswell about how X-ray CT imaging is transforming tablet design and quality control, revealing how microstructure drives dissolution, ...
