Iberdrola has partnered with H2 Green Steel to develop a major facility that will produce about 2 million tons of ‘green iron’ annually, using green hydrogen instead of natural gas. The project will cost $2.6 billion, and it is expected to send ripples of turbulence in a field that is currently lacking behind in implementing […]
Read More3D printing or additive manufacturing may be generally known as a “shaping technology,” but as scientists at the City University of Hong Kong proved, it can be much more than that. The team of Chinese engineers successfully developed a novel titanium alloy by using a 3D printer to design the microstructures of the material, ending […]
Read MoreEngineers at Sandia National Laboratories have carried out a series of tests on specially designed stainless-steel containers used by the U.S. Department of Energy for storing and transporting hazardous materials, and the results of the tests are confusingly inconclusive. The goal was to test what happens in the case of a fire and to see […]
Read MoreThermoacoustic combustion oscillations (TCO) are the peril of internal combustion engines, but detecting the phenomenon in time and taking targeted action to stop and reverse it has remained a complicated case. A team of engineers from the Tokyo University of Science and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) have developed a promising tool that detects […]
Read MoreElaine Thomas, a former metallurgist, and director at a foundry that provides steel to the U.S. Navy, has pleaded guilty in a Washington court, admitting to having falsified material strength test results numerous times in the past. This unethical practice has affected over 240 “cast high-yield” steel batches bought by the U.S. Navy for the […]
Read MoreResearchers at the North Carolina State University have developed a novel composite metal foam (CMF) which they claim is going to be a market-disrupting force. The material consists of metallic bubbles filled with air and then embedded within a metal matrix that can be made out of steel, aluminum, or any alloy. The benefit of […]
Read MoreA team of material engineers in the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, in Washington, have developed a novel manufacturing method for aluminum 7075, an alloy that is highly valued in the industry but one that is notoriously hard to extrude and very costly to make. The high cost derives from the inadequacy of conventional extrusion methods, […]
