Thanks to the latest uploads, the VALIMET Literature Page just hit a new milestone: 150 Papers are listed, and counting.
Let us mention what we consider the 4 highlights of the new additions:
ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING
“Alloy design for additive manufacturing: Continuously reinforced Al-Ce nanocomposites” by Alfred Amon at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
We at VALIMET offer the AM8019 Fe-Ce alloy and recommend considering Cerium as an interesting alloying element.
MATERIALS SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING
“Surface Characterization and Bulk Property Analysis of Aluminum Powders Treated with Hydrophobic Coatings: Stearic Acid and Phenyl-Phosphonic Acid”, by Bellamarie Ludwig at Penn State University.
Storage, blending with other powders may benefit from hydrophobic coatings.
HYDROGEN PRODUCTION
“Hydrogen Plant Module (HPM) and Vehicle Fueled by Same”, by John Parker et al. at Penn State University.
The growing interest on Hydrogen cannot avoid the question: are #metalfuels an attractive option for Hydrogen production?
ENERGETIC MATERIALS
“Comprehending Metal Particle Combustion: a Path Forward” by Igor Altman and Prof. Michelle Pantoya, at Texas Tech University – WCOE Department of Mechanical Engineering.
This paper makes an interesting point on what should come next in propellants studies.
COLD SPRAY
“Cold Spray Technology for Structural Restoration of Sea-Based Aviation Structural Materials”, by Saravanan R. Arunachalam and Sarah Galyon Dorman at SAFE Engineering.
Corrosion, crack propagation: it’s (nearly) all about the microstructure.
Our Literature page is meant to help students of any age identify key contributions in their respective Research field.
We thank all those who have worked with VALIMET Aluminum Alloy Powders and have sent us the references to their publications.
Glad you made the list!
