Researchers developed a 3D printing-based method to tailor metal alloys by composition and structure, creating stronger, ...

Caltech scientists have developed a method to create metallic objects of a precisely specified shape and composition, giving ...

But traditional alloys typically consist of one or two dominant metals with a pinch of other metals or elements thrown in. Classic examples include adding tin to copper to make bronze, or carbon ...

Why Metal Alloys Degrade And Fail Date: October 2, 2008 Source: University of Michigan Summary: Metal alloys can fail unexpectedly in a wide range of applications -- from jet engines to satellites ...

A team of researchers from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and Oak Ridge National Laboratory has identified the toughest material on Earth – a metal alloy of chromium, cobalt and nickel.

The solid phase alloying process could be used to create custom metal wire alloys for various 3D printing technologies, Li said. For example, wire arc additive manufacturing, or “WAAM,” is used to 3D ...

RICHLAND, Wash.—Metal scrap can be directly transformed and upgraded into high-performance, high-value alloys without the need for conventional melting processes, according to a new study from ...

The upshot: The metal can jump from one into the other in a single movement without putting itself in molecular distress. "The next step is to scale this up into a bulk alloy." Into the real world ...

Various metals and special alloys, such as a developmental project-based alloy, MP35N, provide state-of-the-art, high performance capabilities for surgeons. Other bi-metals like nitinol with a ...

The new metal alloy is not only hard but also extremely resistant to gradual wear. The researchers went into this project knowing that gold and titanium are two of the most bio-compatible metals ...
