An advanced wing developed by Boeing Co. uses a combination of materials so difficult to drill economically that a research project was set in motion to come up with a [...]

According to research published in the April 2004 issue of Nanotechnology, nanotubes derived from guanine and cytosine base- pairs, that self-assemble using the same chemistry as DNA, could prove ideal [...]

For Boeing engineers successful at high speed machining of aluminum, the next step is to mill faster in a mare constraining metal. Two metals associated with the aerospace industry are [...]

The view that titanium is difficult to machine is held by many machinists -- especially those with little experience of working with the material. The `difficulty factor' is, in fact, [...]

Tailored materials shape the future Conventional ferrous and nonferrous metals often are bested by custom-made materials, including composites of boron, carbon, glass, and other fibers in metal or plastic matrixes. [...]

Today's Researchers Striving Mightily To Meet Tomorrow's Materials Needs Metal Matrix Composites, Glass, Aluminum, Cast Iron, Steels, Titanium, Aluminides and Plastics All Will Be Heard From Frequently in the Upcoming [...]

Titanium prepares for battle It remains substantially more expensive than steel, but a price drop could make titanium a top competitor for U.S. Army vehicles. In the never-ending battle to [...]

Aerospace boosts titanium industry By O. EDWARD NELSON Oregon Metallurgical Corp. Despite a disappointing second half in 1986, the titanium industry expects 3-5 percent improvement in 1987 shipments. This depends [...]
