MIT Researcher Creates Stronger Metals with Nanoscale Microstructures

The Schuh Group at MIT is developing new tungsten alloys that could be used to substitute depleted uranium in structural military applications, such as projectiles. Depleted uranium is a potential health hazard. The challenge was to create an alloy that is on par with uranium, which sharpens as it shears off material and sustains a pointed nose at the penetrator-target interface.

Digital Image Correlation Enables Accurate Residual Stress Measurement in 3D Printed Parts

Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have developed a novel accurate method for measuring residual stress in 3-D printed metal parts. Powder-bed fusion additive manufacturing (AM) is a type of 3D printing process that uses a high-energy laser beam for fusing metal powder particles. In this method the metal parts are produced using a layer-by-layer method.
