Designing materials that are both lightweight and exceptionally robust has always been a goal for engineers. However, ...

Understanding how dislocations (line defects in the crystal structure) occur when 3D-printing metals has been unclear to materials scientists. Understanding when and how dislocations form in ...

Peritectic solidification involves the nucleation and growth of the primary phase, the peritectic reaction of the primary phase with the remnant liquid phase, and the microstructural evolution of the ...

Despite their immense potential, the road to translating the superlative properties of individual carbon nanotubes into high-performance macroscopic fibers and yarns has been fraught with challenges.

Different methods are employed to vary cooling rates for magnesium alloys during the solidification process from liquid to solid phase and after the solution/aging heat treatment. These include using ...

(Nanowerk News) A discovery that uncovered the surprising way atoms arrange themselves and find their preferred neighbors in multi-principal element alloys (MPEA) could enable engineers to “tune” ...
