Neutron experiments revealed microscopic details about a special 3D-printed superalloy that could potentially reduce component costs. (3D-printed metal samples are about four inches wide. Printed and heat-treated samples are mounted on a pedestal and exposed to a neutron beam to analyze residual stresses or irregularities, such as cracks or voids, created during the manufacturing process.)
Researchers use subatomic particles to examine and improve 3D-printed superalloys for nuclear, aerospace, automotive, and other industries.
As industries push for stronger materials capable of withstanding extreme conditions, researchers are turning to advanced metal 3D printing and atomic-level analysis to create superalloys designed to endure the harsh environments that future technologies may f...
