Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory are using advanced manufacturing techniques to revitalize the domestic production of very large metal parts that weigh at least 10,000 lb each and are necessary for a variety of industries, including clean energy.
…Industrial electrochemical processes that use electrodes to produce fuels and chemical products are hampered by the formation of bubbles that block parts of the electrode surface, reducing the area available for the active reaction. Such blockage reduces the performance of the electrodes by…
Despite the industry’s push toward digital transformation, 95% of manufacturers use paper-based documentation, according to Forbes. But modernization doesn’t have to be overwhelming for manufacturing teams.
When implemented strategically, digital documentation can improve…
