Industrialising 3D printing
VulcanForms, founded by alumnus and professor for MIT, has created digital production systems to manufacture complex metal parts at scale.
Radiation strengthens NiCr alloys
Researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have discovered that exposure to proton irradiation can strengthen and extend certain alloys’ lifetime, including nickel-chromium.
MIT paves way for greener steel
MIT researchers have developed a new process to help steelmaking more eco-friendly, steel products to be of higher purity and eventually, cheaper.
Mr Donald Sadoway, the John F Elliott Professor of Materials Chemistry at MIT, is the senior author and Mr Antoine Allanore, the Thomas B King Assistant Professor of Metallurgy at MIT, and former postdoc Mr Lan Yin, are the co-authors of the paper published in the journal “Nature”.

MIT research could predict pipe fractures
According to researchers at MIT’s Impact and Crashworthiness Laboratory, a computer model that tests automobile components for crashworthiness could also be of use to the oil and gas industry. The team is now using their simulations of material deformation in car crashes to predict how pipes may fracture in offshore drilling accidents.
