What Is The Difference Between Inconel and Incoloy?
Inconel® is a family of nickel-chromium superalloys known for high strength, corrosion resistance, and oxidation resistance at elevated temperatures. Well-suited to demanding applications, Inconel alloys typically comprise 50–70% nickel, 15–25% chromium, and other elements such as iron, cobalt, molybdenum, and tungsten. The specific composition of an Inconel alloy depends on its intended applicati
Austria’s Giant Animal Pylons Turn Power Lines into Living Landmarks
Reimagining Energy Infrastructure Power transmission towers are rarely admired. They dominate landscapes, spark public resistance, and are often viewed as unavoidable visual clutter. In Austria, however, designers and engineers are challenging that perception through an ambitious concept known as the Austrian Power Giants. The project proposes transforming standard electricity pylons into monument
Stratasys Enters Metal AM Through Partnership With Tritone Technologies
Stratasys has expanded its additive manufacturing portfolio beyond polymers, formalizing a strategic collaboration with Israel-based Tritone Technologies. The move brings Tritone’s MoldJet® metal and ceramic AM systems into Stratasys’ offering, giving aerospace, defense, and industrial customers an integrated path to serial-grade metal production within the Stratasys ecosystem. The agreement inclu
Steel vs Titanium: Properties, Strength, Weight, and Ideal Use Cases
The steel vs titanium debate usually starts with a simple assumption: titanium must be better because it’s lighter and sounds more advanced. That assumption costs people money all the time. Both materials are strong. Both are proven. And both are regularly over- or under-specified because someone focused on a headline property instead of how the […]
Cold-Spray Metal AM Expands in Huntsville as Titomic Builds U.S. Footprint
Titomic is expanding its high-velocity cold-spray metal additive manufacturing capability in Huntsville, Alabama. The move strengthens its position in the U.S. aerospace and defense corridor, where propulsion and missile programs continue to grow. Cold spray differs from fusion-based AM by accelerating metal powders to supersonic speeds, causing particles to plastically deform and bond without mel
U.S. Army Turns to Metal AM as Casting Gaps Widen
The U.S. Army is accelerating its metal additive manufacturing programs as domestic casting and forging suppliers continue to struggle with rising demand. Officials tied to Rock Island Arsenal note that workloads have increased sharply, driven by long lead times, aging industrial capacity, and a limited number of U.S. suppliers able to meet defense-grade requirements for […]
