Engineers have identified a fundamental deformation mechanism that can be leveraged to greatly enhance the fatigue properties of metals, opening the door to a new strategy for designing ...

Metal alloys crack and fail through a mechanism called "fatigue" when repeatedly loaded and strained. While it is well known how to design alloys to withstand static loads and pressures, it is very ...

What are the properties worth considering when selecting a particular metal alloy for a medical device? The short answer: any decision made on the mechanical, chemical and physical properties of metal ...

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 ...

Complex metal alloys enter a new era of predictive design for aerospace and other high-temperature applications. Complex metal alloys enter a new era of predictive design for aerospace and other ...

The proceeds from the round will be used for capex to expand into sintered alloys, a type of metal alloy used for making ...

With new manufacturing techniques comes the opportunity for brand new metal alloys with a huge range of possible properties. A team of researchers has now developed a new 3D-printable alloy with a ...

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 ...

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 ...
