Steel needs approximately 24.5 GJ of energy per ton of final product, and unfortunately for the environment, most of this comes from coal, oil, and gas. So, when a new study by UCL researchers on how many resources we need to leave untouched in order not to allow the climate to reach a point beyond […]
Read MoreAs stricter carbon emission rules are introduced across most countries in the world, a growing number of voices call for smarter or more impactful decisions and initiatives instead. That is especially the case with areas were cutting down on emissions is impossible, hard, very costly, or where optimizations and improvements have already been introduced and […]
Read MoreAn international team of researchers has created a novel dual-phase alloy that is extremely resistant to fracturing, thus making it ideal for deployment in a wide range of critical applications. Moreover, its discovery opens up the way to developing similar focused-purpose alloys that could feature other, equally impressive physical characteristics and mechanical properties. The new […]
Read MoreResearchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign became the first ever to deploy machine learning AI tools to evaluate the performance and behavior of different batches of stainless steel material under any circumstance. Not all stainless steel pieces are made equal, and when it comes to extreme applications, even the tiniest disparities in molecular structure […]
Read MoreThe biggest problem with Electric vehicles is range. While a plug-in hybrid can count on gasoline as a backup, Electric Vehicles can’t. This major obstacle needs to be addressed to ensure and enable rapid market increase of Electric vehicles. Now, in a major Advancements in Electric Vehicle Technology, Dutch solar electric car start-up Lightyear has […]
Read MoreSteel prices have gone up by 215% since March 2020, affecting a wide spectrum of industries that rely on the omnipresent and extremely versatile metal alloy. As companies deal with shortages and price hikes from their suppliers, goods cost more to manufacture, and this rise in price is trickled down to the consumer. Simply put, […]
Read MoreWinter is known as the best season for wind power! The winds pack a bigger punch, and with the increased density in the air, the climate becomes colder, propelling more force to the turbine blades. The Effect of Icing on Wind Turbines Even the lightest layer of ice can dramatically impact the efficiency of wind […]
Read MoreThe new administration is not likely to lead to significant changes in defense spending, at least in the short term. “I don’t see any issues. It’s going to be another banner year,” says Joseph Carbone, vice president of sales and marketing for Tech Steel and Materials, Holbrook, N.Y. Read Full Article –> Metal Center News
Read MoreWe may not have entered the post-COVID era just yet, but it’s clear that 2021 is set to be a time when every automotive manufacturer will have to approach their business strategy from scratch. For the past year, everything was done in a context of “emergency responses”, but the dust has settled and the car […]
Read More‘Annealing’ is the heat treatment process that metals that need to be worked on go through in order to to make them easier to form, shape, or stamp. It is done to reduce the hardness and increase the ductility of the parts, thus allowing metallurgists to apply forming or stamping forces on the workpiece without […]
Read MoreIn a big breakthrough, scientists have created diamonds in minutes inside a lab at room temperature. However, the formation of traditional diamonds takes over billions of years. They are formed deep within the Earth’s crust under conditions of intense heat and pressure that cause carbon atoms to crystallize. Billion-year wait for getting the perfect diamond […]
Read MoreRust is one of the biggest enemies of steel and other iron-based, ferrous metals. That’s because, in big enough quantity, it can seriously lower the strength of the part. You can do some things to prevent rusting, though. Here, we will revisit everything you can do to limit rusting. Before we do that, though, let’s […]
Read MoreResearchers from the University of Michigan recently achieved an efficiency record for transparent solar cells. This innovation could pave the way for skyscraper windows to serve as power sources. Researchers used an organic, carbon-based design of solar panels that led to this incredible breakthrough. They broke the previous efficiency record and hit the all-time high of […]
Read MoreAccording to Global Industry Analytics the global supply chain market is expected to reach $162 billion by the end of 2020 and a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.3% during the decade ending in 2030. In order to maximize growth in the supply chain industry countries and companies are facing challenges such as cumbersome […]
Read MoreAfter 2 896 days on Mars, NASA’s “Curiosity” rover is still beeping, and so the space exploration agency has set course for its next destination. The car-sized rover will travel to a sulfate-rich point in Mount Sharp, which is about a mile away from where it currently lies. At maximum speed, this travel would require […]
Read MoreE-bikes are the next big thing in urban transportation, as people return a “back to basics” albeit high-tech approach. While the field is still dominated by “niche firms”, some of the bigger players are beginning to dip their toe in these waters. After all, the market could explode soon, and the consumer demand may overwhelm […]
Read MoreIn a big breakthrough, scientists have successfully made quantum microscope that can directly observe light trapped inside a photonic crystal. This research opens up a new realm of possibility for quantum scientists It was conducted using ultrafast transmission electron microscope at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, a public research university in Haifa, Israel. […]
Read MoreCalculating the weight of a said alloy is very important in engineering, as it directly affects the performance of the material. The weight of a single piece of alloy with the same dimensions can vary greatly even in materials that have similar properties. That is because alloys are composed of many different elements, each having […]
Read MoreCan the Internet Handle 2.5 Quintillion Bytes of Data Daily & Prevent Cyber Attacks? Industrial companies, financial institutions, the engines of the world economy, are embracing AI, machine learning and blockchain technologies to improve efficiency and security in the 21st Century. AI, machine learning, and blockchain will contribute to the 79.4 zettabytes (ZB) of data […]
Read MoreNecessity is the mother of invention, and humanity is in a necessity for various things that workers can’t provide. We need safer stores (online?), shelves full of goods, contact-less delivery of products, ventilators, cooked food, etc. Whereas many retail stores and production lines are struggling to keep up with the demand, we are bound to […]
