Spray forming aerospace alloys for bigger aircraft
Metals are atomised during the process using Argon or Nitrogen gas to form droplets (10-500 micrometers) that are then deposited onto the surface of the pre-formed component via a spray cone. Adding ceramic particulate (5-15 micrometer Silicon Carbide) converts the alloy coating to form a metal... view more (1999-05-28)

Study shows copper could help control MRSA contamination
A new study by scientists at the University of Southampton suggests that MRSA contamination can be reduced by using copper alloys for surfaces in healthcare facilities. Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a virulent organism, essentially resistant to all beta-lactam antibiotics... view more (2004-07-06)

MIT thinks small to find safer metals
MIT researchers have devised a new method for shrinking the size of crystals to make safer metal alloys. The new materials could replace metal coatings such as chromium, which is dangerous for factory workers to produce.   view more (2006-02-22)

Virtual Reality - NPL develops new software for aluminium alloy property prediction
The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) has developed a solution to the arduous and expensive task of obtaining reliable values for material properties for aluminium alloys. It comes in the form of the Virtual Measurement System (VMS), a software tool that allows engineers, material scientists and... view more (2003-11-13)

Metal Fibers Baked To Make Filters
In automotive catalytic converters and industrial exhaust gas filters, porous materials play a crucial role: they filter and break down hot waste gases. It is now possible to process virtually all metal alloys into fibers which can be used to make open-pored sintered materials. The requirements to... view more (2004-07-08)

Hammering sheet metal into shape
The tool at the pressing plant resonantly pounds the sheet metal, ejecting the newly formed vehicle hood moments later. Although this operation runs like clockwork on the production line, it caused the developers of the metal-forming equipment many a headache, since sheet metal springs back... view more (2003-02-20)

Airbus A380 Mega-liner: Weight Savings by Titanium
The titanium parts implemented in the new Airbus A380 aircraft will constitute about 9 % by weight. The new mega-liner basic version is able to transport 555 passengers over a distance of 14.800 kilometres at a speed of Mach 0.85. Length and wingspan do not exceed 80m. Airbus aircraft has been... view more (2003-06-23)
