“To B or not To B” or “ways to combine Boron & Aluminum for Energetic Applications”. Solutions were presented in 2012-2013 and we think they’re worth reading. These papers from University of Utah just made the VALIMET Literature page list: “Synthesis, Characterization and Energetic Performance of Metal Boride Compounds for Insensitive Energetic Materials”; “Combustion of…
New milestone! 200 articles listed on our Literature webpage. 200 works studying VALIMET, Inc. Aluminum Alloy Powders. Join us for a Q&A session with our VP of Sales & Marketing, Luigi Alzati. ❓What’s a Literature webpage?💡”It’s a curated list of published articles based on the materials your company manufactures. Its purpose is to show how…
Studies by ali ghasemi, PhD, have just been listed on the VALIMET, Inc. Literature webpage. Context: Additive Manufacturing. One could say that the hype surrounding Graphene has finally faded away. At the same time, Graphene-like or Quasi-Graphene solutions are available on the market. Ghasemi’s studies point at conditions in which combining Aluminum Alloy powders and…
A microstructure consisting of Aluminum dendrites reinforced by a continuous intermetallic network of Al11Ce3 laths. Beautiful.Strong. It all started when we at VALIMET were requested to toll atomize an Al-16Ce-1Mg formulation by the team at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory:Challenge accepted. The paper summarizing the results of their tests was recently published: “Alloy design for additive manufacturing: Continuously…
See their faces: enthusiasm, pride, comradeship.They did something great and they it all together. As we write, the students from the rocketry club at Purdue University are preparing Janus, a 2-stages rocket. They use VALIMET Aluminum Spherical Powders – and we’re proud of that. Today we wanted to show you some more youngsters working in this…
Come see for yourself: a family of wild bunnies has made its home in our orchard. After the Flame Skimmer dragonflies, another ambassador from the Animal Kingdom has shown up — right next to our “Hot Cocoa” roses. It’s another Nature-given sign that the revitalization of our grounds is making a real impact on the…
The 3rd one: thanks to the collaboration with Lee Wardle and his team at University of Dayton Research Institute (UDRI), VALIMET, Inc. won the validation for its AM 7075 C Aluminum Alloy powder, under the Mil spec MIL-DTL-32495A(2). Cold spray is a technology that allows surface coatings, repairs and additive manufacturing of components.As a manufacturer…
Back in 2023 we started the conversation on Aluminum-Cerium alloy powders with Politecnico di Torino. Crack-free printing: is that possible? VALIMET, Inc. atomized and delivered AM8019 powder, an alloy we suggest paying attention to, as it exhibits:– High-temperature performance;– Corrosion/Oxidation resistance;– Thermal Fatigue resistance;– Typically not needing thermal treatment.Have a glimpse of its formulation here: https://valimet.com/solutions/ PhD student Nicolò…
“Depth must be hidden. Where? On the surface”, Hugo von Hoffmannsthal warned us. Some of us listened: we just added to our Literature page a fine work that brought together Texas Tech University and Purdue University. The topic of nano-sized enhancers to reactivity of propellants is still matter of discussion and this contribute may intrigue you, as the…
University of the Pacific and VALIMET, Inc. celebrate the end of the internships 2024/25.We welcomed Irene Vasquez Camy, MA Ed, Director of Cooperative Education and Sylvia Head, Director of External Relations at UoP. The two great interns, Angelo and Cesar, were mentored by our Technology Manager, Ian McCarthy, PhD and our Materials and Process Manager, Dustin Hickman, PhD. We value having a…
