Sintering metal explained Melting iron or nickel? Easy. But tungsten and molybdenum? Their melting points are so high that casting isn’t an option. Instead, they’re shaped using powder metallurgy and sintering, where metal powder is compressed and heated just below melting point. This process bonds the particles without turning them to liquid, preserving the heat resistance and strength of these refractory metals. #science #engineering #facts #metal #sintering #metal #metallurgy | vt.physics

A horrifying video has emerged from PT Mega Haltim Mineral’s (MHM) nickel mining site in East Halmahera, North Maluku, Indonesia, showing a sudden landslide at the location. The truck driver narrowly escaped after jumping out and running to safety. According to reports, three workers were buried under the debris—two have been confirmed dead, while one remains missing. Rescue operations are underway as authorities assess the situation. #Indonesia #EastHalmahera #NorthMaluku #Landslide #MiningAcci
