As useful as steel is, its main weakness may be its vulnerability to corrosion. Researchers in Korea have now developed a new alloy coating that boosts steel’s resistance to rust, by adding a simple extra step in the surface treatment.Continue ReadingC… Continue reading New alloy coating builds an inner shield to stop steel rusting
Global supply chain issues are beginning to hit closer to home for the hacker community, as Raspberry Pi has announced their first-ever price increase on their flagship Pi 4. The …read more Continue reading Hackaday Links: October 31, 2021
It’s common wisdom that the lathe is the essential machine tool, and the only one that can make copies of itself. While we won’t argue the primacy of the lathe …read more Continue reading Heavy Metal Lathe Build Doesn’t Spare the Steel
Scientists at Rice University have cooked up a new alloy with a unique and diverse set of attributes that could prove highly effective at protecting steel from corrosion. The novel coating not only prevented rusting in submerged slabs of common steel, … Continue reading Flexible alloy prevents steel corrosion and repairs itself when damaged
It’s almost hard to remember a time when the obvious answer to most questions about manufacturing wasn’t “Throw it on the CNC.” CNC machines have become so entrenched that the …read more Continue reading Machining Wood Inlays, No CNC Required
Back In August we saw the world’s very first “fossil-free” steel delivery make its way to Volvo in Sweden, marking a significant milestone in the shift toward renewable energy. Volvo has now fashioned this into a lorry that is both a load carrier for m… Continue reading Volvo builds a world-first vehicle using fossil-free steel
Whether you’re making, repairing, or hacking something together, we all need fastners. Screws, nuts and bolts, and pop rivets are handy sometimes. Various resins and even hot glue are equally …read more Continue reading Old School Fastener Tutorial Is Riveting
Engine stands are great to have on hand for when you need to work on an engine outside a vehicle. However, if your engine is particularly large, you might find …read more Continue reading A Giant Engine Needs A Giant Engine Stand
A milestone in decarbonization today as Sweden’s SSAB made the world’s very first “fossil-free” steel delivery, created with green hydrogen instead of coal and coke, to a customer, Volvo, where it will be used in electric trucks.Continue ReadingCategor… Continue reading First “fossil-free” steel delivered to Volvo in Sweden
Rocket engines are great for producing thrust from fire and fury, but they’re also difficult to make. They require high-strength materials that can withstand the high temperatures involved. [Integza], however, …read more Continue reading 3D Printing Steel Parts At Home Via Special Filaments
