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 ...

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 ...

Aluminium alloys represent a pivotal class of materials in modern engineering, celebrated for their low density, high corrosion resistance and versatile mechanical properties. The performance of these ...

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 ...

“It is about 3-4 times harder than most steels,” said Emilia Morosan, the lead scientist on a new study in Science Advances that describes the properties of a 3-to-1 mixture of titanium and gold with ...

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 ...

This diagram shows the different preparation methods of 2D noble metal-based intermetallic electrocatalysts and the different reactions that this electrocatalyst can be used for. As demand grows for ...

(Nanowerk News) Hydrogen has the highest energy density (120 MJ/kg) of all known substances, approximately three times more than diesel or gasoline, meaning it could play a pivotal role in sustainable ...

Researchers at Tohoku University have developed a new technique to identify the initiation sites of a destructive process called pitting corrosion, which occurs when aluminum (Al) alloys are exposed ...
