Rutgers researchers have discovered that alloys with nanoscale phases have more elastic responses to mechanical, electrical, and magnetic forces.

The coating replaces cold blackening of irons and steels.

Plastic cam followers outperform metal

Cam followers with plastic rollers run faster and quieter, need no lubrication, and are suitable for clean rooms and harsh environments.

The aluminum matrix materials come in tailored CTEs.

The manual covers bar, rod, and wire products.

Integrated weld cooling and thermal processing methods let designers use martensitic stainless steels to reduce weight and manufacturing cost.
