    NIST Researchers Discover Rare Crystal That Increases the Strength of 3D-Printed Aluminum

    Researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have discovered special atomic patterns, called quasicrystals, which increase the strength of 3D-printed aluminum alloys. This discovery makes it possible to use these alloys in lightweight, high-strength objects such as airplane parts. Challenges of 3D-Printing Aluminum In the powder bed fusion method of 3D printing, […]
