Self-assembled solidifying eutectic materials directed by a template with miniature features demonstrate unique microstructures and patterns as a result of diffusion and thermal gradients caused by ...

During eutectic solidification, a mixture of two or more solids self-assemble, forming composite microstructures ranging from ...

Using a combination of theory and experiment, a multi-institutional team are creating simulations to speed up advanced material design. Since the dawn of Enlightenment-era chemistry and physics, ...

The deposition of molten particles on the interior surface of jet engines can cause significant damage and degrade the performance of the engine. Now, scientists successfully simulated 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 ...

Also known as 3D printing, additive manufacturing (AM) is a disruptive new manufacturing technique that is employed to create metallic parts with enhanced mechanical properties in contrast to other ...

LEMONT, Ill., September 18, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In one form of additive manufacturing, complex metal parts are built one ultra-thin layer at a time — similar to frosting a cake, but with far ...

Researchers observed how metal microstructures evolve during 3D printing, offering insights to improve strength, reliability, and design of advanced components. In a form of additive manufacturing, ...
