A new way to predict which alloys will produce metallic glasses has been discovered by scientists. The research could lead to new powerful, conductive materials.
The Mexican automotive industry is growing steadily. The current trends in national technology used for the development of innovative materials provide an opportunity to enter into the international market. Mexican researchers have created products that help reduce the risks of injury in car accidents. These products are derived from the combination of metals that have porous characteristics and a "super elastic" capacity.
Increasing amounts of energy are lost on a daily basis in the form of waste heat. A recent interdisciplinary project at Chalmers has discovered that a unique class of material, known as high-entropy alloys, is capable of making room for efficient heat recycling.
A team of researchers from the Department of Energy at Oak Ridge National Laboratory has partnered with Wisconsin-based Eck Industries and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) to create aluminum alloys that have easier workability and better tolerance to heat than currently available products.
A team of researchers from the Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung in Düsseldorf have created a novel metallic material, which possesses very high strength as well as ductility simultaneously.
Malicious Mr. Hyde and mild-mannered Dr. Jekyll were opposite characters of the same man, and their story had a tragic end as they were struggling to coexist peacefully.
Stronger than any commercial titanium alloy currently on the market, an improved titanium alloy gets it strength from the innovative way atoms are arranged to form a special nanostructure. Researchers from the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have succeeded in observing this arrangement and manipulating it to create the strongest ever titanium alloy with a lower process cost.
A new study from North Carolina State University researchers finds that novel light-weight composite metal foams (CMFs) are significantly more effective at insulating against high heat than the conventional base metals and alloys that they’re made of, such as steel. The finding means the CMF is especially promising for use in storing and transporting nuclear material, hazardous materials, explosives and other heat-sensitive materials, as well as for space exploration.
Scientists at Brunel University London have perfected the first ever grain refiner master alloy for magnesium-aluminium alloys.
In today’s world, cooling is a very important process. The challenge for the future is to carry out cooling that is not harmful to the climate, and facilitates the conservation of natural resources. Professors Stefan Seelecke and Andreas Schütze from Saarland University have used cooling systems that use shape memory alloys, also referred to as ‘artificial muscles’ or ‘metal muscles.
