While predetermining mechanical properties supports this process, specifying grain size means that post-processing steps including drawing, coining, stamping, and machining turn-over lower scrap rates ...

Nowadays, most studies utilizing diffraction contrast tomography, either in the lab or at the synchrotron, have concentrated on relatively low-aspect-ratio samples, usually rectangular or cylindrical ...

We use the Tosca 400 atomic force microscope (AFM) as a quality control tool to check for differences in titanium (Ti) metal grain structure before and after failure. Ti metal was subjected to ...

A project at Caltech has fabricated 3D metallic pieces with nanoscale structures using a two-photon lithography process. Described in Nature Communications, the manufacturing principle could now be ...
