Inside the Findings That Shaped Materials Science takes a closer look at some of those turning points - the ideas, lab ...

They found that some iron alloys could form a superionic state, which would explain the observations. In a superionic iron alloy, the iron atoms form a solid lattice that holds the material in shape, ...

An original class of strong, ductile titanium alloy containing the inexpensive and abundant oxygen and iron as principal alloying elements has been created using 3D printing. The research findings ...

Xiuyan Li and K. Lu discuss a strategy, alternative to alloying, to tailor the mechanical properties of metals. By engineering defects, metals with bespoke performance might be obtained while reducing ...

There was a “what-if” question addressed a few months ago in our Performance Q&A column that piqued our interest. The question was simple: If you had a set of iron and aluminum cylinder heads that ...

Alloying, the art of blending metals with other elements, has long been a cornerstone of materials science and metallurgy, creating materials with tailored properties. In contrast, dealloying has been ...

When thoughts turn to the modernization and decarbonization of our transportation infrastructure, one imagines it to be dominated by exotic materials. EV motors and wind turbine generators need ...

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 ...
