Laser-assisted 3D printing shapes ultra-hard tungsten carbide while cutting waste
Manufacturers rely on tungsten carbide–cobalt for tools that must survive extreme wear. Yet shaping ...
The university's team reports that their approach centers on controlled "softening" of the material rather than complete melting. The process, known as hot-wire laser irradiation, reshapes ...
Quality roads both reduce operational costs and improve safety. Element Six offers long-life tungsten carbide picks for use in road maintenance. Belt cleaners are essential in maintaining the ...
Driven by tight spot raw material supply, a sharp hike in corporate long-term contract prices and festive effects, the ...
By: Keith Gifford and Chris Harley, Conforma Clad Inc. Tennessee Valley Authority’s (TVA) Kingston power plant entered operation in 1955 and is one of 11 coal-fired power plants owned and operated by ...
Researchers demonstrated that additive manufacturing can produce defect-free WC–Co cemented carbides with industrial-level hardness, reducing material waste and cost. <br /> ...
