Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have developed a method that uses additive manufacturing (AM)—3D printing—to fabricate ...

In 1976, Howmet Corporation became the first company to offer hot isostatic pressing (HIP) services to the aerospace industry. The HIP process, which subjects a component to elevated temperatures and ...

The complex, highly engineered ceramics used in armor have their origin in some of the simplest ingredients on Earth. But these raw materials must be transformed through brute-force techniques before ...

China has released its first ultra-large hot isostatic pressing (HIP) machine, a milestone in the country’s development of high-performance materials for use in industries like aerospace. The new ...

A near-net-shape hot-pressing technology produces high-quality, high-performance parts for industries where failure is not an option. Scientists have developed a novel pseudo-hot-isostatic-pressing (P ...

Aluminum oxynitride ceramics, commonly known as AlON, represent a remarkable class of materials that combine exceptional optical transparency with robust mechanical properties. Developed originally in ...

For millennia, humanity has embraced the use of ceramics primarily because of the abundance of raw materials and the simplicity of which basic pottery can be manufactured. So, does this fundamentally ...

Nanocomposite ceramics represent a rapidly evolving class of materials that combine the beneficial properties of two or more phases at the nanoscale to offer superior optical, thermal, and mechanical ...
