Space is tough on materials. Radiation, UV light, atomic oxygen and sharp temperature swings can degrade metals, polymers and ...

Hard materials keep modern life moving, from drill bits to cutting tools. One of the toughest is tungsten carbide with cobalt, often shortened to WC–Co. It lasts a long time and resists wear, but ...

A research team led by Professors Caichao Wan and Yiqiang Wu at Central South University of Forestry and Technology reports ...

The approach uses 3D printing to produce WC-Co cemented carbides - ultra-hard materials used in cutting and construction tools - while reducing the waste and cost of conventional manufacturing.

Tungsten carbide–cobalt (WC–Co) is prized for its hardness, but that same property makes it unusually difficult to shape. The current process is wasteful and expensive for the yield produced, and an ...

But I think bakeware material is not far behind as the second-biggest variable — one that can cause problems for people or ...

Hard materials keep modern life moving, from drill bits to cutting tools. Rock the Country festival: Artists dropping out amid Kid Rock controversy Trump threatens to block opening of new bridge ...

The rezoning from light to heavy industrial requires City Council approval despite the positive recommendation from the ...

Long-term tests further show that the presodiated hard carbon retains 93.6% of its capacity after 3,000 charge–discharge cycles. Microscopic and spectroscopic analyses confirm the formation of a thin, ...
