When it comes to turning raw metal alloys into useful things, two processes dominate: casting and forging. Both have their place, but when strength and light weight are priorities, forging is the ...

Graphene is an ultrathin material characterized by its ultrasmall bending modulus, superflimsiness. Now the researchers at the Nanoscience Center of the University of Jyväskylä have demonstrated how ...

This section of the industry may be classified as jobbing with quantities generally small varying from one off to perhaps 100 off. Tooling for producing open die work may consist of flat or shaped ...

Boron carbide (B4C) is a highly desirable material in the field of engineering ceramics due to its excellent properties, such as high hardness, chemical inertness, neutron absorption capability, and ...

Graphene is an ultrathin material characterized by its ultrasmall bending modulus, superflimsiness. Now researchers have demonstrated how an experimental technique called optical forging can make ...
