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 ...

A new alloy combines the best of the refractory metals with cutting-edge engineering. Even these extremely tough metals can be made to deform and show bands of adjustment. These kink bands add ...

The new Pokemon Scarlet and Violet DLC adds a lot of new content, boss fights, but also the evolution of some Pokemon who didn’t evolve before. One of those is Duraludon and to evolve it, you’ll need ...

Radiation is famously damaging, both to living tissue and materials. But now, engineers at MIT have been surprised to discover that radiation may actually help certain alloys to self-heal, extending ...

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 ...

Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have created a new aluminum alloy called RidgeAlloy that can turn contaminated ...

A hydrogen-treated metal alloy shrinks instead of expanding when heated, driven by magnetism, offering customizable materials ...

Oxide scale, which is essential to protect structural alloys from high-temperature degradation such as oxidation, carburization and metal dusting, is usually considered to consist simply of oxide ...

Graphite/metal alloy bearings handle harsh environments that lubricated bearings can’t. For example, a grease-filled ball bearing was used on an oven-door latch—but in tests, the bearing seized and ...

In the last few decades, metal 3D printing has spearheaded the efforts in creating custom parts of intricate shapes and high functionality. But as additive manufacturers have included more alloys for ...
