Advanced metal alloys are essential in key parts of modern life, from cars to satellites, from construction materials to electronics. But creating new alloys for specific uses, with optimized strength ...

Many new materials have been developed, but steel remains the principal construction material for automobiles, appliances, and industrial machinery. Because of steel's vulnerability to attack by ...

While many designers and engineers find success with 3D-printing parts in plastic for prototyping and low-volume production, producing parts out of metal using similar technology has recently led to ...

Traditional aluminum–silicon alloy pistons are gradually replaced by steel pistons, which has become the trend of future diesel engine development. However, the efficient design and broad application ...

Dri-Design started out as a small business. The founders of Dri-Design used their experience and their hands-on knowledge to see exactly what was wrong with certain building materials and how to make ...

Human-machine interfaces (HMI) are undergoing a seismic change now that a new approach is available for designing button panels. Inductive-sensing technology is becoming the preferred method when ...

People learning about semiconductor manufacturing might well be confused by the concept of metal fill. It seems perfectly intuitive that laying out a complex chip will result in some regions with ...

Today, fabrication has moved toward a rigid, data-driven workflow where the digital model dictates every move on the floor. When producing steel components for high-performance mechanical systems, ...

An innovative second-generation steel-composite modular construction system that is planned for use in GE Hitachi’s (GEH’s) BWRX-300 small modular reactor (SMR) plant could dramatically reduce the ...
