3D Printing Has Applications in Processing Brittle and Crack-free Tungsten
You might have read from a science fiction novel, magazine and must have seen in films like Cloverfield Paradox that 3-dimensional printing of objects has unfathomable applications in space explorations and other scientific endeavors; however, a recent study has shown that 3D printing has found itself a practical application in the manufacturing industry in keeping a very useful material called Tungsten brittle and crack-free. Well, if we are discussing Tungsten, it should be needless to say that it has numerous useful properties. It has one of the highest melting points ever found in metals, i.e., 3,4220 C, and along with corrosion-resistive properties, its characteristics make it an ideal material to use in high-temperature environments. Now, its properties also make it disadvantageous in certain conditions apart from making it advantageous in others. And, that is where 3-D printing technology comes into the picture. Tungsten is one of the most brittle metals in the...
