Scientists create world's first floating titanium
They say a drowning man is willing to grasp onto just about anything to stay afloat, but he would most likely think twice if you offered a titanium buoy. Yet, scientists have created a titanium structure that floats without compromising the metal’s strength.Continue ReadingCategory: Materials, EngineeringTags: RMIT University, Titanium, Floating
Titanium is more than four times as dense as water, so usually sinks. Australian researchers have built a 3D printed titanium grille that still floats. This article has been sorted under Technology.
Researchers from the University of Australia, RMIT, created the world's first titanium-based floating material.
Scientists at RMIT University have created the first titanium alloy that floats on water, retaining its enormous mechanical strength thanks to 3D printing.
Breaking the Surface, RMIT's Floating Titanium Lattice Lets Water Through and Still Refuses to Sink
Photo credit: Sara Tan | RMIT Researchers at RMIT University’s Centre for Additive Manufacturing have printed a titanium lattice that floats while remaining open so water can pass straight through. Lead researcher Dr Jordan Noronha and project leader Distinguished Professor Ma Qian worked with Professors Andrey Molotnikov, Milan Brandt and Martin Leary, along with partners [...]
