The technique is more efficient and can be used to print metal oxides, such as iron oxide (rust), which can then be reduced into metal. Rust powder is lighter, more stable, cheaper, and safer to ...

A team of Northwestern Engineers has created a new way to print three-dimensional metallic objects using rust and metal powders. While current methods rely on vast metal powder beds and expensive ...

Researchers have developed a new inexpensive method to 3D print metallic objects such as batteries, fuel cells and parts for rockets and airplanes, using rust and metal powders. While current methods ...

Don't toss out a cast iron skillet because you spot a few rust spots; they can be removed with several household products, from a condiment to a food covering.

Iron and steel may be some of the strongest materials on earth, but they’re no match for the elements. Ferrous metals start to rust after only a few hours of exposure to air and water. Left unchecked, ...

Washington: Researchers have developed a new inexpensive method to 3D print metallic objects such as batteries, fuel cells and parts for rockets and airplanes, using rust and metal powders. While ...

A new method 'liberates' the 3-D printing process to enable a greater variety of printed metals and allows and makes printing metals faster, cheaper, and easier to scale up. A team of Northwestern ...
