Not quite. A composite is more like a blend between two materials. More or less organized in a matrix of some sort. Like Cermets (usually more ceramics) and Metal-matrix-composites (usually more metal). Although it “begins” as extremely small particles with metal cores covered by ceramic shells, it seems to en up as an alloy with oxides inside the otherwise metallic structure/lattice. Perhaps one could argue it’s a material that is something between a ceramic and a metal. But if the metallic qualities remains, an alloy it is.

@@craigmackay4909No… However it is complicated and expensive to get a patent. In essence all inventions today are produced by businesses with teams of engineers and lawyers involved. The risk is more that your idea is stolen by corporations overseas, and not necessarily China. American corporations have also engaged in copying/stealing inventions without paying the inventor… the US government not being involved in the theft. My father 30 years ago in essence privately (although a small business was registered) invented a small and simple device. And I, in my mid 20’s, helped him formulate the text and made the construction drawings for the application. He was granted a patent, and received an official call: “Wow… Hardly anyone today manage to get a patent on something he has invented purely by himself… And where the application and construction drawings also is made by himself/his son… But there’s always a mass of engineers and lawyers and specialists on patent applications involved… Fantastic…”. Unfortunately it was way too expensive for my father to apply for an international patent too. And he let manufacture the products with such high quality so they never broke and no one needed to buy new ones. And the market for the product was really small and specialized. And my father was stubborn and didn’t want to sell the patent, since the corporation who wanted to buy it wouldn’t allow everyone to buy the product “as is”, but only if they bought a bunch of other products too. Then it was some major corporation, I think in Korea, who just ignored the patent and started production. And without the more rigid protection of an international patent (although even if there isn’t an international patent, it is still protected internationally) and without the money to pay a team of lawyers in Korea, he had no chance. But he totally gained about the same as it costed. And it was a fun journey. He probably gave me a few $100s for what I guess it would cost a corporation a few $100’000 to have a team of experts do. These engineers likely have a well waged job.

They mix metal powders with some ceramics and then the printer spreads a very thin layer of the powder mix where a laser, focussed to a fine point with very high temperatures fuses the powder together. Then the laser is moved over a few microns and fuses adjacent particles. This happens very quickly and it appears as if the laser is just scanning the layer until the geometry pattern is finished. Then the table the powder/part is on is lowered a few microns, a fresh layer of powder is carefully spread and then the next layer is fused etc. Eventually a 3d part is made.

Yup that would be an easy way to reverse engineer the stuff. I got a good idea what it's likely made from, a super alloy powder like iconel combined with silicon nitride ceramic particles. Both these are fairly off the shelf materials. Iconel powder is used for metal spray application of hard facing and ultrafine SiN powder is used as an optical surface polishing compound. The laser forming is likely followed up by vacuum sintering. A composite like that would take an unbelievable amount of stress and heat, would for all intents and purposes be like real world atamantium with the superalloy giving toughness and the nitride ceramic giving a hardness close to diamond. 3D printing would be the only way to make parts of a composite like this as it would be too tough to machine. 😮

Why would the color of their skin matter?

There is still alot to learn in metallurgy and compound material science.

I guess what they're really after with this technique of using fine particles of metal and ceramic is to get a near perfect distribution of ceramic within the metal matrix which would have interesting properties although I'm not sure the edges of the metal matrix wouldn't melt leaving only the ceramic outer edge but maybe that's fine because the metal matrix remaining within the ceramic holds the edges together. Kind of a fascinating composite

And just think, it all started with a vibrator accidently turning on in an engineers pocket, rearranging nano particles in a desk drawer where they were sitting. 😂

Shimano makes a gravel bike groupset called GRX 810. I wonder if this metal is any good for bike components . . .

is there post machining involved?

Wow, I wonder if this stuff had better thermal properties than inconel?

Will it be used in the automotive industry? Or other manufacturing?

How would these be produced on a large scale?

My guess it is a Super alloy (high nickel) plus a nitride ceramic such as SiN, though SiC might work too. Would 3D print followed by vacuum sintering to stabilize the grain structure. A titanium/aluminum nitride or oxide metal ceramic is unbelievably tough as well but wouldn't take rocket engine stresses that well. ❤

VERY COOL, no pun intended...

very cool ...

Can you scale it up to mass production though?

Great. I will have to machine this sOOn.

Doing the hcim PvP is probably the most exciting moment by moment content there is.

Fantastic! Next creation would be fluid terminators with tiny ceramic coated nano bots.

Nice to know there's a new material to make guns, for our American friends

Saw that on Amazon yesterday. 😊

US Military: Huh, very interesting.

wondering if this was reverse engineered from NHI recovered craft materials

Talking about making billions in profit in a blue jean jacket lol

Tell me how so i can make it in my garage.

Ah GRX810, sure I've been using that for years.

It’s good to hear NASA is able to license the technology to help defer the cost of the agency and help humanity.

Who gets the patent? Will it be available to the private sector soon?

I don't know. That oven that tested the super alloy looks pretty durable to me.

Ok that’s fantastic no doubt!! Now let’s think about materials can build a house or cars and decompose when is required; that’ll help even more the 🌍 !

I love it

I wonder if this technology is something Kennemetal figured out years prior with their ceramic inserts

WOW! Do you realize how many super-duper delicious cupcakes can be purchased for a billion dollars?... Somebody does right down to the last sticky penny! .. .. YES! I am!

Graphene would have similar results

A ceramic metal? Awesome.

3D sintering has been around a long time, so it is not that. It is the materials science! There is so much more science to do.

So it sounds like what you end up with when you melt small metal balls coated with ceramic is probably a matrix with both ceramic and metal 3D netting for lack of a better term.
