Most aluminum alloys made through additive manufacturing (AM) have very limited as-built ductility, which may lead to the adoption of more expensive, heavier alternative materials in applications such ...

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 ...

The KAIST research team led by Professor Seungchul Lee from the Department of Mechanical Engineering, in collaboration with ...

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 ...

In steelmaking, two desirable qualities -- strength and ductility -- tend to be at odds: stronger steel is less ductile, and more ductile steel is not as strong. Engineers have now shown that ...

A multi-scale heterostructure design—combining micrometre-scale grains with nanoscale precipitate networks—enables a TA15-Si-TiB composite to achieve ...

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 ...

A kind of high-performance bulk pure tungsten with high strength and excellent ductility at low temperature, was fabricated recently by a collaborated research team from Institute of Solid State ...

A kind of high-performance molybdenum alloy, nanoscale ZrC dispersion strengthened Mo alloy with high strength and excellent ductility, was fabricated recently by a collaborated research team from ...

Carbon steel is an iron-carbon alloy. Although pure iron is not intrinsically strong, adding carbon imparts great strength to this material. Crude iron, which is used in steel production, has a high ...
