Reducing Hydro Turbine Maintenance Costs with Cold Spray

A growing and vital component of today’s energy sector is hydropower. The basic technology behind hydropower is simple. Rushing water moves turbine vanes to generate electricity that is then fed into the grid. In a recent study published by the US Department of Energy, several national laboratories assessed the value of hydropower. The conclusions were… Continue reading Reducing Hydro Turbine Maintenance Costs with Cold Spray

What’s Next for Additive Manufacturing in the Aerospace Industry?

The United States entered the first round of the ‘space race’ back in the late 50s to early 60s. At that time, there was a mad rush for industries and government agencies, in this case, NASA, to develop technology, applications, and systems for a type of vehicle they had no idea how to construct, maintain… Continue reading What’s Next for Additive Manufacturing in the Aerospace Industry?

Effects of Pitting Corrosion in Chemical Processing Plants

Pitting corrosion is undoubtedly the most dangerous type of metal erosion. Some experts believe it was responsible for the catastrophic collapse of the U.S. Highway 35 bridge between Point Pleasant and Kanauga over the River Ohio that killed 46 people in 1967. A small crack in one of the I-beams was thought to have been… Continue reading Effects of Pitting Corrosion in Chemical Processing Plants

Where Is the Powder Metallurgy Market Going?

Metal powders are a dry, bulk solid made of very fine particles, typically aluminum, steel, copper, titanium, and other metals. Many alloys are also available in this form. Compressing and sintering these powders results in near net shape parts with potentially complex geometries that are expensive to create with other fabrication methods. The high-pressure cold… Continue reading Where Is the Powder Metallurgy Market Going?
