In biology, defects are generally bad. But in materials science, defects can be intentionally tuned to give materials useful ...

Researchers working at the nanoscale have found that 3D-printed metal parts can stay mechanically strong even when they ...

Continuous casting remains a critical process in modern steel production, whereby molten steel is poured into a mould and solidified into semi-finished forms such as blooms, billets or slabs. This ...

Analysis of the residual fatigue life of X70-grade pipeline steel with a semi-ellipse defect shows the maximum stress intensity factor under the influence of the flow field to be higher than the value ...

Novosibirsk State Technical University has developed an intelligent quality control system for industry. The technology allows you to automatically find cracks, dents, and corrosion spots on a steel ...

An artistic impression of the experiment: 3D rendering of the micro-scale stainless steel grain investigated in this study showing the evolution of defects inside it with time (early – blue lines, ...
