Cold spray sounds almost too simple to work: fire a metal particle at a surface fast enough, and it sticks – no melting, no welding, just brute plastic deformation smashing a bond into place. That has been the textbook story for two decades. But in our latest paper with colleagues at Politecnico di Milano and … Continue reading Rethinking how cold spray really bonds dissimilar metals

Detecting Li within electron microscopes is a deep challenge…
Low-energy characteristic X-rays (physicists like the term 'soft X-rays' =]...) are problematic to detect and quantify using existing Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy techniques. For example, within Mg-Li alloys, proper detection of Li remains a significant challenge. Very interesting work on instrumentation of EDX coupled with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) has now addressed to this … Continue reading Detecting Li within electron microscopes is a deep challenge…
