(Nanowerk News) Scientists have developed a new method that can make customised 3D-printed metal parts containing different properties – such as having some regions of the metal stronger than others.

How can studying metals manufacturing lead to longer-lasting batteries and lighter vehicles? It all comes down to physics. Researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) are investigating ...

The process of heat-treating metals on the industrial scale primarily serves to improve the overall properties of the metals required for their future use. Such metal properties can include toughness, ...

"Grinding Ferrous Metals" provides an in-depth overview of the considerations involved with grinding various ferrous metal workpiece materials. Ferrous metals’ properties vary widely. This class ...

Researchers determined exactly what happens as crystal grains in metals form during an extreme deformation process, at the tiniest scales, down to a few nanometers across. The findings could lead to ...

Electrical conductivity: copper has the highest conductivity of the engineering metals. Silver or other elements may be added to increase strength, softening resistance or other properties without ...
