Material Matters

Increased energy production from renewable sources is a major goal of many governments and organizations globally. To reach ambitious goals, greater effort will be required to supply the necessary amount of rare earth elements (REEs). This blog aims to highlight the opportunities and challenges for rare earth materials manufacturing. 

Multiple important properties are measured in stress-strain testing and, in order to avoid material failure, understanding what those properties mean is critical. This blog describes and defines the various measurements.

While it plays an integral part in semiconductor manufacturing, physical vapor deposition (PVD) tends to be a highly inefficient process. In this blog, you'll learn more about the recovery process and its benefits.

Yield strength may be a materials most important property to consider in component design. This blog will describe how to evaluate tensile testing results to accurately determine a material's yield strength.
