With additive manufacturing, used to build this heat exchanger, one key is to do prototyping for the part and then see whether additive or subtractive manufacturing is the better choice of manufacture ...

Compared to traditional structural materials, polymer matrix composites (PMC) offer greatly enhanced performance and flexibility. However, these benefits come at the cost of increased material ...

Creeps are characterized as time-dependent permanent deformations that occur under constant stress at elevated temperatures. The material composition determines the onset of creep. For example, steel ...

Under specific conditions, hydrogen can diffuse in metal, leaving a long-term effect on the material’s properties. Close investigation of the behavior of materials and components in hydrogen-rich ...

Capsules containing Lightbridge Fuel material samples of enriched uranium‑zirconium alloy have been loaded into an experimental assembly ready for irradiation testing, Lightbridge Corporation has ...
