South Korean researchers additively manufacture spherical high-pressure tank capable of passing 330-bar test at -196°C

To satisfy stringent aerospace dimensions and structural requirements, the researchers used AM technology to print two titanium hemispheres, before joining them together through a sequence of heat treatment, precision machining and welding.
