‘Rule-breaking’ study challenges long-held belief that heat always softens metal
A new study has overturned a fundamental tenet of metallurgy: the “Metallurgy 101” rule ...
There's a reason why blacksmiths fire metals before hammering them. Heat always softens metal, making it more malleable and easier to reshape. Or does it? In a surprising new study, Northwestern ...
A team of Northwestern Engineers has created a new way to print three-dimensional metallic objects using rust and metal powders. While current methods rely on vast metal powder beds and expensive ...
