When we watch a metal part being built by laser-based metal additive manufacturing (AM), we're only seeing part of the story.

The study, published in Nature Communications, provides new insights into the solute transport and solidification mechanisms in AM, which could lead to the development of new materials and processes ...

New research led by the University of Leicester has made a novel breakthrough in understanding how solidification cracking occurs during the welding of steel, an important engineering alloy. In a new ...

Materials and Solidification, an international journal dedicated to advancing research in solidification theory, materials design, and processing technology, has officially launched its inaugural ...

Diverging and converging patterns forming on the surface of solidifying liquid metals resemble plotlines in a complex historical novel, in a new international study. The cyclic patterns observed are ...

A Recent review, spearheaded by Prof. Qiang Zhang and Prof. Chen-Zi Zhao from the Department of Chemical Engineering at Tsinghua University, highlights forthcoming opportunities aimed at advancing the ...

casting is a very complicated process. The most important part is the rate at which a casting cools down. Many properties of the casting are affected by this rate, which eventually determines the ...
