In an effort to make alloys stronger, researchers at North Carolina State University took a cue from bamboo: They increased the grain size gradually, going from the skin toward the center of the metal ...

There is an increasing demand for novel materials with high-temperature oxidation resistance in harsh environments. Now, a ...

A new study shows high frequency sound waves can have a significant impact on the inner micro-structure of 3D printed alloys, making them more consistent and stronger than those printed conventionally ...

The Science of Alloy Building Ours is the Alloy Age, Alloy Making Today is No Longer, As Once, a Shot in the Dark, New Rules in the Alloy Game, How We Ask the Atom ...

Thermal conductivity, hardness, corrosion resistance, toughness—the wish list is long. No single material of construction can provide all of the properties needed for optimum mold quality and ...

New solution: Feng Nei in the lab with his zinc alloy prototype. (Credit: Monash University) Orthopaedic implants that bear loads while bones heal, then disappear once they’re no longer needed, could ...
