Intermetallic compounds are a class of substances formed by chemical bonding of metallic elements in specific atomic proportions. In order to obtain a good welding result, a metallurgical reaction ...

High-entropy alloys are promising materials because they remain stable in many different compositions. However, their many components make the solid solution phase more energy-efficient and favorable, ...

Researchers at Tohoku University have developed a groundbreaking multi-material 3D printing technique using Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) to create lightweight yet durable automotive components. By ...

Dematteis, E.M., Cuevas, F. and Latroche, M. (2021) Hydrogen Storage Properties of Mn and Cu for Fe Substitution in TiFe0.9 Intermetallic Compound. Journal of Alloys and Compounds, 851, Article ID ...

As these contributions review metal and alloy catalysts, the literature on intermetallic compounds as catalysts, despite their frequent use in this reaction, has not been reviewed to date. In contrast ...

In newly published research, a team of engineers in Australia have observed a special metal alloy that goes back and forth from liquid to solid—quickly, and to a depth of several nanometers.

These alloys possess high durability, making them useful as coatings. As Ni and W have different properties, their joining interface forms unique layers where intermetallic compounds (IMCs) and ...

Thermal aging Thermal aging testing was performed at 150° C for a total duration of 2,000 hours, and measurements of intermetallic compound thickness were made at two different stages. The developers ...

The benefits of recycled aluminium include lower energy use (2.8 kWh/kg vs. 45 kWh/kg for primary production) and environmental gains. Aluminium's weight advantage (over 40% lighter than steel) ...

Moreover, it allows the pore size to be manipulated at the nanoscale for both μ-Fe 7 Mo 6 and μ-Co 7 Mo 6, which are mostly at the micrometer scale for the other metals/alloys when coarsening occurs ...
