In 1894, Pierre Curie speculated on the “the symmetry in physical phenomena, symmetry of an electric field and a magnetic field.” Since then material scientists have working to discover a unique material that displays the coexistence of ferroelectricity and magnetism in a single compound, referred to as a multiferroic compound.
A new alloy with cold-loving features is reported to be one of the toughest metallic alloys ever, according to a team of Berkeley Lab researchers.
Scientists at the Universidad Politecnica de Madrid (UPM) have proved the efficacy of using laser shock processing (LSP) technique for surface treatment in improving the corrosion, wear and crack propagation resistance of metals. This technique was found to be particularly useful for extending their useful life of aluminum alloys, stainless steels, and titanium. The ability of the laser shock processing technique in incorporating favorable surface properties increases the scope for potential applications in material processing in the nuclear, automotive, aeronautics, and biomedical industry.
The Danish pioneers in surface hardening of stainless steel, Expanite, have established a subsidiary in the US and opened a new treatment center in Ohio
NanoSteel®, a leader in nano-structured steel materials design, today announced the introduction of the company’s first powders designed for the binder jet 3D printing process and its initial commercial application in additive manufacturing.
A new video from SciAps features a real world demonstration of the Z handheld elemental analyzer, and a candid interview at Wentworth Scrap Metals.
A wide range of rare earth metal foils is available from Goodfellow, a leading supplier of high-purity metals and materials for research and industry. The foils represent 14 of the 15 metals in the lanthanide series (only promethium is unavailable), plus scandium and yttrium. Ranging in thickness from 0.005mm to 2.0mm, all of the foils have a purity greater than or equal to 99 percent.
Researchers at Caltech’s Division of Engineering and Applied Science have discovered that the magnetism of iron plays a role in how the material is able to take on various forms.
Growth in construction and automobile industries is expected to boost the overall demand for steel. This, in turn, is anticipated to drive the global ferroalloy market between 2014 and 2020. Ferroalloys are iron alloys that contain chromium, manganese, silicon or other elements in varying proportions.
Zecotek Photonics Inc., a developer of leading-edge photonics technologies for medical, industrial and scientific markets, today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary Zecotek Display Systems Pte. Ltd. has signed an agreement with the Institute of Chemical Physics of the National Academy of Sciences in Yerevan, Armenia, to extend the list of high-performance powder metal alloys for use in its compact, high-speed 3D printer.
