Researchers created a near-room-temperature method to make high-entropy alloys with precise control of crystal structure and morphology for custom designs. (Nanowerk News) Humans have been making ...

The extreme conditions of nuclear reactors expose their structural alloys to high temperatures, stress, corrosion, and irradiation damage. Therefore, nuclear alloys require materials with high ...

Although metal alloys is not among the most exciting topics for most people, the moment you add the word ‘radioactive’, it does tend to get their attention. So too with the once fairly common Mag-Thor ...

US researchers are racing to build metals that can shrug off temperatures and particle bombardment rivaling the surface of the Sun, a prerequisite for practical fusion power. By rethinking how alloys ...

In metal alloys, behavior at the atomic scale affects the material's properties. However, the number of possible alloys is astronomical. Scientists developed a theoretical model that allows him to ...

New international research collaboration to trailblaze the next generation of catalysts – a prerequisite for the renewable chemicals and fuels of the future. The researchers hope to accomplish this ...

Metal and metallic alloy casting is widely used for manufacturing components in high-performance industries, including automotive and aerospace. However, cast metallic alloys often exhibit limitations ...

Carelyn E. Campbell remembers learning about materials science from a National Geographic magazine article she read as a high school student in 1987. “The goal to be able to design materials for ...

The last time you took your new titanium golf clubs out for a few holes at the local course, it probably didn’t occur to you that the clubs were manufactured using a process that is thousands of years ...

Alloyed titanium has been studied extensively and found to have suitable qualities for use as a dental cast. While some combinations of metals with titanium may not yield desirable results, the Ti-Cu ...

Almost all alloys corrode or rust to an extent. Corrosion is a type of oxidation, and rusting is a component of corrosion. Rusting occurs when the alloy is in contact with air and humidity, resulting ...
