Sheet metal manufacturers use insights from data to set and track environmental KPIs
The chief of the Aluminum Association says his industry is committed to supporting automakers amid the shift to electric vehicles.
New process strategies have enabled the early adoption of cladding onto copper components.
Mihaela Vlasea has built a career by bringing industry and academia together. She’s just getting started.
Two NASA engineers discuss how new metal alloys will aid advanced propulsion concepts.
Composite materials have clear benefits for manufactured parts in aerospace, medical, automotive applications and many other industries. Ensuring the highest part accuracy is critical. Force measurement and material testing are essential processes for product designers and manufacturers to gain insightful data to create high-quality composite components.
A new breed of turbochargers constructed of super tough alloys operates at higher temperatures and rotational speeds than ever before, resulting in greatly increased output in a smaller package for gas and diesel engines alike.
Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite materials deliver the important performance advantages of high strength-to-weight ratio, durability, and extreme corrosion resistance in lightweight structures, valued especially for demanding aerospace and oil and gas industry applications.
Dunnage used to ship and process automotive parts on the shop floor is a key component in the overall manufacturing process, yet it is often overlooked when companies are working to make lines lean and green. Today, it is important that manufacturers know that most dunnage used to transport parts from start to finish can be reused for the lifetime of production.
