ECNDT 2026 Verona: GNR at the 14th European Conference on Non-Destructive Testing
From June 15 to 19, 2026, Verona will host the 14th European Conference on Non-Destructive Testing (ECNDT 2026), one of the most important European events dedicated to non-destructive testing and materials analysis technologies.
Metal Die Casting: Process, Materials and Quality Control
Metal die casting is an industrial casting process in which molten metal is injected at high pressure into a permanent metal mold, known as a die. Once the mold cavity is filled, the material rapidly solidifies and takes the shape of the desired component.
Metal Forming: What It Is, How It Works and the Processes Involved
Metal forming is a group of industrial processes used to change the shape of a metallic material through plastic deformation, that is, a permanent transformation achieved by applying mechanical forces to the metal without removing material.
Metalworking: processes, stages and machinery
Metalworking includes all the industrial processes used to transform a raw metallic material into a finished component or a semi-finished product intended for subsequent production stages. It is a core activity within the manufacturing industry and is widely used in sectors such as automotive, aerospace, energy, construction, mechanical engineering and industrial plant manufacturing.
Tensioni residue nelle leghe industriali: evento AIM a Milano con GNR
On May 6, 2026, a high-level technical event will take place in Milan, focused on a key topic in materials engineering: residual stresses in industrial alloys.
The event is organized by AIM – the Italian Association for Metallurgy, a leading reference for the Italian metallurgical community, and includes the active participation of GNR, also acting as a coordinator.
Residual austenite: what it is, formation, and quantification in steels
Residual austenite is a key metallurgical phase in heat-treated steels and can significantly influence the mechanical properties and stability of components.
Residual Stresses: What They Are, How They Form, and How to Measure Them
Residual stresses are internal stresses present in a material even in the absence of external loads. They are generated during manufacturing processes and can significantly affect the mechanical performance of metallic components.
Thermal Stress in Metals: What It Is and How It Is Analyzed
Thermal stress is the set of internal stresses that develop in a material when it is subjected to non-uniform temperature variations or to conditions that prevent its free deformation.
Metallurgical industry: processes, companies and quality control
The metallurgical industry is the industrial sector responsible for the production, transformation and refining of metals, from raw material to finished product. It is a fundamental supply chain for the global economy, as almost all infrastructure, industrial machinery, transportation systems and many technological products depend on metals and metal alloys.
Metallurgy: meaning, industrial processes and quality control
What is metallurgy? When we talk about metallurgy, we refer to the technical and scientific discipline that studies the entire life cycle of metals, from extraction from ores to their transformation into usable industrial materials.
