ORNL scientists develop heat-resistant ‘Mighty Mo’ EBM 3D printing material

Scientists from Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have developed a new molybdenum (Mo) formulation that’s specifically optimized for use with Electron Beam Melting (EBM) 3D printers. By mixing molybdenum with titanium carbide (TiC) powders, the ORNL team have been able to create a ‘Mighty Mo’ material, that overcomes the alloy’s usual brittleness and oxygen reactivity. […]
