In manufacturing metal parts, the quality of the finished products hinges on the precision of every step, especially surface cleaning. Before metal parts undergo treatment such as coating, painting, ...

Metal batteries, with active metals as anodes, are considered as one of the most promising solutions to achieve the energy upgrade of battery technologies, yet their practical applications are ...

Scientists from the federally funded Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois and the University of Virginia have developed a new approach for detecting defects in metal parts produced by 3D printing.

Detecting macro-defects early in the wafer processing flow is vital for yield and process improvement, and it is driving innovations in both inspection techniques and wafer test map analysis. At the ...

Engineers have found a way to simultaneously mitigate three types of defects in parts produced using a prominent additive manufacturing technique called laser powder bed fusion. University of ...

Premature finishing, overworking the surface and inadequate curing are typical causes of surface defects on exterior slabs. Some of these defects include premature wear, scaling, mortar flaking and ...

Researchers have demonstrated a halogen-free method for building ultra-long carbon nanoribbons on copper surfaces, removing ...

Following the basic finishing rules will help you avoid blisters and delaminations, dusting, crazing, crusting and reduced resistance to surface wear on interior, steel troweled floors. Building ...
