Arcam AB in Sweden recently patented an electron-beam melting (EBM) technique that additively builds complex parts out of titanium. The process economically builds parts at relatively low volumes. EBM ...
Electron-Beam Single-Melting (EBSM) technology is being successfully utilized to produce a variety of titanium alloys. As compared to Vacuum Arc Remelting (VAR), EBSM can provide increased material ...
FRICTION burns. And the friction of the air on something travelling at five times the speed of sound burns hot. The leading edge of such an object can easily reach a temperature of 3,000°C.
