Provided is a NbC based cemented carbide and method of manufacture the same. The NbC based cemented carbide may be devoid of WC. The NbC based cemented carbide may be devoid of Co in the binder phase. The NbC based cemented carbide exhibits enhanced strength and thermal conductivity while maintaining desired toughness and hardness.

This disclosure relates to a polycrystalline cubic boron nitride, PCBN, composite material comprising cubic boron nitride, cBN, particles and a binder matrix material in which the cBN particles are dispersed. The binder matrix material comprises one or more superalloys.

A core-shell particle is provided, including a core particle composed of a non-reactive component, and a coating layer disposed about the core particle, the coating layer composed of reactive component. The reactive component is chemically reactive with water, acid, or base, and the non-reactive component is non-reactive with water, acid, or base. Also provided are a bulk composition composed of the core-shell particle, an article composed of the bulk composition, as well as method and system of making and using the particles, composition, and articles.

Methods of making metal bond abrasive articles via powder bed jetting are disclosed. Metal bond abrasive articles prepared by the method include abrasive articles having arcuate or tortuous cooling channels, abrasive segments, abrasive wheels, and rotary dental tools.

This disclosure relates a polycrystalline cubic boron nitride, PCBN, composite material for use in friction stir welding. The PCBN composite material comprises tungsten (W), rhenium (Re) and aluminium (Al) in the binder matrix material.

Provided is an insert adapter for direct ink writing printers (DIW) and methods of fiber alignment in direct ink writing. The insert adapter is sized to fit snugly inside a print barrel DIW 3D printer. The adapter includes channels. The DIW printer with insert adapter, can be used in a passive method for microfiber alignment in DIW printing. The method includes feeding a non-Newtonian ink including microfibers through the print barrel such that the ink flows into the channels of the insert adapter before exiting through a print nozzle, causing the microfibers to align along the direction of ink flow.

A degradable, high-strength zinc composition suitable for use in producing degradable tools and components for in use in oil and gas and related application fields.

An example system for operation in a borehole in a hydrocarbon-bearing rock formation includes a logging tool for detecting one or more conditions in the borehole. The logging tool includes a tool body and a 4D printed sensing element. The 4D printed sensing element includes a 3D printed shape-memory material configured to alter in at least one spatial dimension in response to one or more stimuli, thereby generating a data signal. The example system includes a data recording device in communication with the logging tool to receive and record one or more data signals transmitted from the logging tool.
