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

what alloy of aluminum should we use to transfer heat between a CPU and a heatsink. I first wanted to use copper but my dads friend said he can't get an order in for that so I would just like him to ...

Engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have designed a new aluminum alloy that can be 3D printed and reach ...

In an effort to make alloys stronger, researchers at North Carolina State University took a cue from bamboo: They increased the grain size gradually, going from the skin toward the center of the metal ...

Thermal conductivity, hardness, corrosion resistance, toughness—the wish list is long. No single material of construction can provide all of the properties needed for optimum mold quality and ...

What do industries such as electronics, automotive, plumbing, jewelry, stained glass, pewter, railroad and electric utilities have in common? They all require custom solders and alloys produced by ...

The unique properties of high-entropy alloys make them ideal for hydrogen storage, offering advantages in stability and ...

Aluminium/Aluminum alloys are known for strong corrosion resistance. These alloys are sensitive to high temperatures ranging between 200 and 250°C (392 and 482°F), and tend to lose some of its ...

A new study shows high frequency sound waves can have a significant impact on the inner micro-structure of 3D printed alloys, making them more consistent and stronger than those printed conventionally ...
