alloys

A microscopic grain preserved an atomic structure created inside Hiroshima’s fireball.

The extreme conditions of atomic bomb explosions create “uncontrolled microexperiments” that, in Hiroshima, forged a never-before-seen metallic alloy

Metal alloys are used everywhere from aircraft to cutlery, making them an indispensable part of...

Lightweight, higher-temperature alloys developed by researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have met the strength and durability operating requirements of General Motors' new low-mass, high-efficiency medium-duty truck engine.

Researchers unveiled an LPBF aluminum alloy that stays strong and creep resistant up to 400C with no heat treatment. The post LPBF Aluminum Alloy Adds Heat Resistance And Ductility appeared on Fabbaloo .

I'm 12 and i theorized on a new alloy and was wondering if it is actually practical, it would be mainly used for blades such as Japanese Katanas as it's first inspiration. I originally got this alloy from me questioning if soda can lids were sharp. This alloy has a titanium core/base that i... Read more

The program System Failure on Radio 3, RNE, has interviewed our director, Prof. José Manuel Torralba, about how artificial intelligence can be used to develop more efficient and sustainable alloys, thereby revolutionizing the world of materials.

Alloys, which are materials such as steel that are made by combining two or more metallic elements, are among the underpinnings of contemporary life. They are essential for buildings, transportation, appliances and tools — including, very likely, the device you are using to read this story. In applying alloys, engineers have faced an age-old trade-off . . .

Abstract: Aluminum alloys have been the primary material of choice for structural components of aircraft,among which Al-Li, Al-Ni, Al-Co and Al-Cu alloy have attracted much attention due to theirexceptional fracture toughness, corrosion resistance and so on. Understanding the relationshipsamong composition, processing, microstructural characteristics and properties can improvestrength and ductili…
