Artificial intelligence has just helped push one of the world’s most familiar metals into unfamiliar territory. By teaming advanced algorithms with 3D printing, researchers have created a new aluminum ...

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.

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.

In its purest form, iron is neither exceptionally strong nor hard - in fact, a block of pure iron could be cut with a knife. The addition of carbon and the removal of oxygen are what give iron-based ...

Researchers at Tohoku University have developed a new technique to identify the initiation sites of a destructive process ...

Dr Mike McDonagh provides insight into the factors involved in choosing and processing suitable alternative antimony alloys for lead-acid battery ...

The automotive and aircraft industries often use aluminum alloys as they combine the mechanical properties of alloys, and the light weight aspects of the aluminum. The composition of the elements is ...

Building prediction models for high entropy alloys (HEAs) using material data is challenging, as datasets are often lacking or heavily biased. Now, researchers have developed a new evidence-based ...

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, ...
