Conventional alloys have one principal element, with minor modifications achieved by adding relatively small amounts of other elements. As many as a dozen other elements may be added, but conventional ...

Artificial intelligence has just helped push one of the world’s most familiar metals into unfamiliar territory. By teaming ...

To understand the interactions between elements in steel, a systematic investigation has been conducted by an Osaka Metropolitan University research group led by Associate Professor Tokuteru Uesugi of ...

A new alloy combines the best of the refractory metals with cutting-edge engineering. Even these extremely tough metals can ...

You might not realize it, but almost everywhere around you are rare metals from the earth. In your phone, computer, or any other LCD screen, for example, you’ll find a dash of indium, a soft, ...

Pure titanium is normally of a hexagonal (alpha - α) structure but transforms to a body centred cubic (beta - β) form when heated above 882°C. The addition of alloying elements to titanium influences ...

Building prediction models for high entropy alloys (HEAs) using material data is challenging, as datasets are often lacking or heavily biased. Now, researchers have developed a new evidence-based ...

In its purest form, iron is neither exceptionally strong nor hard - in fact, a block of pure iron could be cut with a knife. The addition of carbon and the removal of oxygen are what give iron-based ...
