Previous research into lightweight steel has focused on mixing in aluminum in varying proportions to attempt to reduce the density, and therefore the weight. Unfortunately, upping the aluminum content ...

Scientists have devised a new metal alloy, made by mixing titanium and gold, that could lead to a revolution in how prosthetics are designed. The rest of this article is behind a paywall. Please sign ...

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 research team led by Professor Jong Sung Yu of the Department of Energy Science and Engineering at DGIST has developed a ...

A new alloy made from chromium, molybdenum, and silicon - three metals known for strength, heat tolerance, stability - breaks ...

Researchers from the Tokyo Institute of Technology have unveiled the formation mechanisms of various phases, including intermetallic compounds (IMCs), within nickel–tungsten (Ni–W) alloys. Their ...

Dissimilar metal welding of magnesium alloys and steel is a field of growing significance in industries where weight reduction without compromising structural integrity is paramount. This area of ...

To material scientists the phrase "ductile intermetallic compounds" has long been considered an oxymoron. Although these compounds possess chemical, physical, electrical, magnetic, and ...

Hydrogen, a clean fuel, is incredibly dense in energy -- three times more than diesel or gasoline. Its ability to power a sustainable future has been hindered by a lack of high performing catalysts.

In the village of Aranmula, Kerala, an extraordinary metal mirror is traditionally made of delta high-tin bronze, i.e. a binary copper–tin alloy of high tin content consisting almost entirely of the ...
