Laser-assisted 3D printing shapes ultra-hard tungsten carbide while cutting waste
Manufacturers rely on tungsten carbide–cobalt for tools that must survive extreme wear. Yet shaping ...
Tungsten carbide–cobalt (WC–Co) is prized for its hardness, but that same property makes it unusually difficult to shape. The current process is wasteful and expensive for the yield produced, and an ...
AM10F Carbide Rods · GlobeNewswire Inc. WORTHINGTON, Ohio, Sept. 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hyperion Materials & Technologies, a leading global hard materials company, today announced the launch of ...
This new metal printing method keeps tungsten carbide insanely hard while cutting waste and skipping extreme heat cycles ...
The university's team reports that their approach centers on controlled "softening" of the material rather than complete melting. The process, known as hot-wire laser irradiation, reshapes ...
Tungsten carbide–cobalt (WC–Co) is prized for its hardness, but that same property makes it unusually difficult to shape. The current process is ...
The approach uses 3D printing to produce WC-Co cemented carbides - ultra-hard materials used in cutting and construction ...
