A team of scientists from Ames National Laboratory and Texas A&M University developed a new way to predict metal ductility. This quantum-mechanics-based approach fills a need for an inexpensive, ...

Building on their work on the first-ever supranano magnesium alloy, a research team led by City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK) has demonstrated how supranano engineering can lead to higher strength ...

Automotive, aerospace and defence applications require metallic materials with ultra-high strength. However, in some particular high-loading structural applications, metallic materials shall also have ...

Researchers from the University of South China and Purdue University have successfully employed artificial ...

A machine-learning strategy has generated a new class of ultra-high strength and ductility steel for 3D printing that costs ...

The alloy, developed by German researchers, has a rare combination of ductility at room temperature and oxidation resistance at temperatures up to 1100 °C, important qualities for durable materials in ...

Researchers combine many elemental metals to create a class of material known as enduring high-entropy alloys (HEAs). Applications involving high stress, harsh temperatures, radiation, and wear and ...

Although steel has been the workhorse of the automotive industry since the 1920s, the share by weight of steel and iron in an average light vehicle is now gradually decreasing, from 68.1 per cent in ...
