what alloy of aluminum should we use to transfer heat between a CPU and a heatsink. I first wanted to use copper but my dads friend said he can't get an order in for that so I would just like him to ...

In an effort to make alloys stronger, researchers at North Carolina State University took a cue from bamboo: They increased the grain size gradually, going from the skin toward the center of the metal ...

Artificial intelligence has just helped push one of the world’s most familiar metals into unfamiliar territory. By teaming advanced algorithms with 3D printing, researchers have created a new aluminum ...

Thermal conductivity, hardness, corrosion resistance, toughness—the wish list is long. No single material of construction can provide all of the properties needed for optimum mold quality and ...

Washington, D.C.—Ever since the Bronze Age, humans have experimented with combining different metals to create alloys with properties superior to either metal alone. But not all metals readily form ...

A new study shows high frequency sound waves can have a significant impact on the inner micro-structure of 3D printed alloys, making them more consistent and stronger than those printed conventionally ...
