Car manufacturer Czinger has unveiled a metal AM gearbox that was made using topological optimization. The 7-speed semi-sequential AM gearbox developed with Xtrac, Berkshire, England, was produced without any tooling with an aluminum alloy. The resulting gearbox has better structural performance with significant savings, and is a first for the automotive industry.

NASA has demonstrated a breakthrough in metal additive manufacturing high-temperature materials that could lead to stronger, more durable parts for airplanes and spacecraft.  A team of researchers from NASA and Ohio State University detailed the characteristics of the new alloy, GRX-810, in a paper published in the journal Nature.

The new book Powder Metallurgy in Sweden – 100 Years of Development provides an historical account of early PM research & development in Sweden from the 1920’s to the technology of today. It also shows how entrepreneurship and individual discoveries were groundbreaking for Swedish companies. The book is in English and is a compilation of nearly 70 authors, with long and extensive experience of all aspects of PM. It covers hard metals, sintered structural components, Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) of metal powders, diamond tools and metal AM.

Gain an understanding of the fundamental principles of the sintering process for powder metallurgy (PM) materials! This graduate-level course emphasizes the theory of sintering and includes information on the sintering behavior of a wide variety of engineered materials: metals, alloys, composites, carbides, intermetallics, etc. This technically in-depth course provides valuable knowledge for career development.

This Course contains 16 pre-recorded segments that average 60-minutes each. The Course will be open to the student for 3 months from the date of purchase.
