Researchers have reported developing a new metal Additive Manufacturing approach that actively mixes molten metal during ...

Decarbonization of automobiles not only requires a shift from gasoline engines to electric motors, but also quality steel parts that help the motors run while lessening the weight of vehicles.

Alloys are not just random combinations of elements; they are precisely engineered to enhance specific properties, such as strength, corrosion resistance, ductility, and conductivity. 1, 2 For example ...

Few discoveries in the field of high-performance metals have been able to rewrite the rules of metallurgy established decades ...

Like modern-day alchemists, metallurgists are constantly discovering and perfecting recipes for better alloys. A crucial step ...

Steels that contain specified amounts of alloying elements -- other than carbon and the commonly accepted amounts of manganese, copper, silicon, sulfur, and phosphorus -- are known as alloy steels.

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 ...

Investigating ways to create high-performance steel, a research team used theoretical calculations on 120 combinations of 12 alloy elements, such as aluminum and titanium, with carbon and nitrogen, ...
