China Prints Meter-Long Single-Crystal Titanium Rods
4 min read
Chinese researchers published a study in Nature describing a pulsed 3D printing method called DSP-WAAM that grew creep-resistant titanium-alloy rods exceeding one meter in length. The team achieved this by alternating high and low power pulses to correct crystal grains, producing samples up to 2 centimeters in diameter.
