Scientists based at Hiroshima University have devised a novel way of 3D printing with one of hardest engineering materials ...

Hard materials keep modern life moving, from drill bits to cutting tools. One of the toughest is tungsten carbide with cobalt ...

This new metal printing method keeps tungsten carbide insanely hard while cutting waste and skipping extreme heat cycles ...

Tungsten carbide–cobalt (WC–Co) is prized for its hardness, but that same property makes it unusually difficult to shape. The ...

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 ...
