Metal parts made using laser-based additive manufacturing (AM) can have residual strain resulting from rapid heating and cooling during printing. Annealing parts after printing reduces the strain but can cause unwanted structural changes. Researchers used neutron diffraction and neutron imaging to measure strain and determine optimal annealing for metal AM parts.
New research from the group of Joshua Yuan, professor and chair of energy, environmental and chemical engineering at Washington University in St. Louis' McKelvey School of Engineering, may soon lead to even lighter, stronger carbon fiber -- and stronger plastics -- all using what is currently a waste product.
The new PRESTO A38, A41, W41, A70, and W93 process systems will be presented for the first time at ACHEMA.
Hot on the heels of its USA office opening in June, leading laser manufacturer Luxinar is exhibiting the company’s well-established OEM and SR series of sealed CO2 laser sources on booth #1855 at The Battery Show N...
