Engineers have spent decades trying to build metals that do not snap, melt, or grind away under extreme conditions, and for a long time the tradeoffs seemed unavoidable. Push strength too far and a ...

The question “What is the difference between a mixture and an alloy?” comes from Ms. Thelen’s class. An alloy is a noun that describes a metal made from the combination of two or more metallic ...

Researchers from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have measured the highest toughness ever recorded of any material. a metal alloy of chromium, cobalt and nickel was found to be the 'toughest ...

Engineers at Monash University have developed a new 3D-printable titanium alloy with a unique microstructure that makes it ultra-strong. Not only is it stronger than most other forms of titanium, but ...

The potential for material mix-ups in manufacturing and metal fabrication is very real, with movement from metal production to service centers and distributors and component fabrication to final ...
