A team of engineers at RMIT University has developed a groundbreaking 3D-printed titanium alloy that s stronger, more ductile, and nearly 30% cheaper to produce than the traditional standard. By ...

For thousands of years, humans have combined metals to collectively harness properties found in individual components, producing such practical materials as bronze, brass and, more recently, steel.

In a world of 8 billion people, there's one thing that makes each of us unique: our fingerprints. A variety of genetic and environmental factors create tiny variations in the skin's ridges and whorls, ...

Researchers develop a novel method to predict alloy microstructures with unprecedented speed and accuracy. (Nanowerk News) For thousands of years, humans have combined metals to collectively harness ...

AA2024 is a heat-treatable aluminum-copper alloy that comprises aluminum, copper, magnesium, silicon, iron, and manganese. It provides an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, high tensile strength, and ...

Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) maps of the investigated Inconel 718 alloys. Inverse pole figure (IPF) maps along the X direction (horizontal) are presented for a A wrought and fully ...

Each figure shows the composition distribution of each element. While conventional methods are estimated to take over two years for this calculation, the researchers’ new method completes it in just ...

Boron at trace concentrations exerts a profound influence on the phase transformations, grain-boundary chemistry and mechanical performance of steels. When added in minute quantities, boron atoms ...

Optical microscopy revealed that both AlSi10Mg and Alloy C achieved similar bulk densities of approximately 99.8–99.9% ...
