In industries ranging from aerospace to automotive and even everyday applications like machinery and structural components, metal fatigue is often a dangerous phenomenon. It’s the gradual weakening of a material, typically a metal, due to repeated loading and unloading cycles over time. Despite its significance, metal fatigue is not always immediately visible, which can lead ...
Why Galvanic Corrosion Testing Matters Across Industries When two dissimilar metals are in contact and exposed to a corrosive environment, one often corrodes at the expense of the other—a phenomenon known as galvanic corrosion. Galvanic corrosion must be considered in nearly any design where metallic components are used, such as aerospace applications, automotive design, marine, ...
What is EBSD? EBSD, or Electron Backscatter Diffraction, is a powerful technique used to analyze the grain structure of a material. It’s typically an accessory attached to a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), allowing scientists and engineers to examine grain orientation, phase distribution, and more. (Learn more about SEMs and how they work here: What is ...
Magnesium alloys are among the lightest structural metals and offer an attractive combination of properties, including good strength, stiffness, high damping capacity, and excellent thermal diffusivity. These characteristics make them ideal for lightweight applications in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and transportation. However, their broader adoption is limited by challenges such as high reactivity and ...
Ti-6Al-4V (Ti-64) is considered the workhorse titanium alloy, accounting for over 50% of titanium use globally. Originally developed for the aerospace industry, Ti-64 has seen widespread adoption in the energy and biomedical fields due to its high strength-to-weight ratio, excellent corrosion resistance, and outstanding biocompatibility. Within the aerospace and energy sectors, Ti-64 components are exposed ...
