In this video, we show our longest-running steelmaking furnace project. The home foundry was made from an old gas cylinder. The furnace is designed for welding steel ingots and raises the melting ...

Platinum group metals (PGMs) include iridium, osmium, palladium, platinum, rhodium, and ruthenium, and they have high melting points, heat and corrosion resistance, and unique catalytic properties.

A new alloy combines the best of the refractory metals with cutting-edge engineering. Even these extremely tough metals can be made to deform and show bands of adjustment. These kink bands add ...

Refractory metal alloys are known for their distinctive specifications and general properties. Among them is the niobium-based refractory metal alloy C-103, which has a variety of applications in ...

Wafer-thin sheets of gold shot briefly with lasers can be heated up to 14 times their melting point while remaining solid, far beyond the theoretical limit, raising the possibility that some solids ...

A laboratory crucible is a high-temperature-resistant container designed to facilitate the melting of metals, glass, and pigments in a furnace. These crucibles are integral in metal casting ...
