Behind every aircraft, turbine, and high-load structure is a steel alloy doing the heavy lifting. Advanced high-performance alloys are critical for their function. Image Credit: ...

Thanks to a new strategy in the development of materials related to steel, high strength and ductility are no longer mutually exclusive. For the steel industry, there may be a way out of the dilemma ...

Iron has been used by human civilizations for over three millennia. The Iron Age saw the popularization of ironworking, as blacksmiths learnt to heat, hammer, and shape the metal into tools, weapons, ...

Steels that contain specified amounts of alloying elements -- other than carbon and the commonly accepted amounts of manganese, copper, silicon, sulfur, and phosphorus -- are known as alloy steels.

Researchers have demonstrated how to create a super-strong aluminum alloy that rivals the strength of stainless steel, an advance with potential industrial applications. “Most lightweight aluminum ...
