Researchers have shown that a new 3D-printed superalloy could help power plants generate more electricity while producing less carbon, according to a new study. Scientists from Sandia National Laboratories, US, created a superalloy, with an unusual composition that makes it stronger and lighter than state-of-the-art materials currently used in gas turbine machinery, the study said. A superalloy, or a high-performance metal alloy, is an alloy with the ability to operate at a high fraction of its melting point. As the world looks for ways to cut greenhouse gas emissions, the findings could have broad impacts across the energy sector as well as the aerospace and automotive industries, and hints at a new class of similar alloys waiting to be discovered, the study said. The team published their findings in the journal Applied Materials Today. "We're showing that this material can access previously unobtainable combinations of high strength, low weight and high-temperature resiliency,"

Hyderabad is uniquely positioned to emerge as a hub for the 3D printing industry with the presence of the relevant ecosystem and the state government's push to emerging technologies, Telangana Industries Minister K T Rama Rao said on Friday. He was speaking at the inauguration of AMTECH Expo, which is said to be the largest additive manufacturing expo in the country. Additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, is a process that is used to create a physical object by layering materials one by one based on a digital model. Unlike subtractive manufacturing that creates its final product by cutting away from a block of material, additive manufacturing adds parts to form a product. Rama Rao spoke about the presence of aerospace, defence ecosystem and the medical devices industry in the state. It's time that the country occupies the larger share of the 3D printing industry that is expected to grow to almost USD 65 billion by 2026, he said. "With NCAM (National Centre for Additive

The government aims to capture five per cent of the global market share in additive manufacturing or 3D printing with expectations to add nearly USD 2-3 billion to the GDP in the next 2-3 years, Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said Thursday. Under the National Strategy on Additive Manufacturing, the government plans to create 50 India-specific technologies for material, machine, process and software to make India a 3D-printed design and manufacturing hub. "The value of precision electronics is high. It is estimated to contribute USD 2-3 billion in GDP coming 2-3 years," Communications and Electronics & Information Technology Ashwini Vaishnaw said while announcing the strategy. The strategy aims to create 100 new start-up, 500 additive manufacturing products and 50 Indian additive manufacturing technologies on material, machine, process and software. "We have taken some clearly defined goals in this strategy. We are targeting 50 new India-specific technology, 100 new start-up, 10 ..
