Machinists already use tools strengthened by a coat of titanium carbide nanoparticles. Just like diamond, the titanium carbide helps the tools, often used to forge things like spacecraft, cut harder.

The prolific use of complex, monolithic titanium components in aircraft has led to increasingly higher demand for better titanium machining capabilities. Improving cutting tool performance has become ...

Metal-matrix composites are either in use or prototyping for the Space Shuttle, commercial airliners, electronic substrates, bicycles, automobiles, golf clubs, and a variety of ...

First discovered in the 1980s in what is now Kyrgyzstan, titanium carbide occurs in nature as a form of the very rare mineral khamrabaevite or Ti,V,Fe. According to the UCLA engineers, ...

Engineers have found a solution to this long-drawn search. They discovered that by infusing titanium carbide nanoparticles into the AA 7075 welding wires that serve as the filling material at the ...

“Titanium carbonitride has a very similar structure by comparison to titanium carbide — they’re actually identical aside from one replacing half of its carbon atoms with nitrogen atoms — but titanium ...

Researchers from KTH Royal Institute of Technology and Stanford University have fabricated a material for computer components that enable the commercial viability of computers that mimic the human ...

They converted old tires into a material that not only purifies water using solar energy—but also generates a small amount of electricity.

In addition, Sinitskii’s group has produced larger and more consistent flakes of the chromium/titanium carbide MXene than previously available, making them easier to use and study. The research team ...
