New research shows that the electronic structure of metals can strongly affect their mechanical properties. New research from the University of Birmingham shows that the electronic structure of metals ...

Brazing has emerged as a critical methodology for joining dissimilar materials, most notably metals and ceramics. This technique utilises a filler metal, which melts at a temperature lower than that ...

As opposed to conventional metal alloys, metal matrix composites (MMCs) possess inimitable physical, thermal, electrical, chemical, and mechanical properties that make them most suitable in today’s ...

Dr Gao Shubo (left), a research fellow from NTU Singapore, and Dr Li Zhi, a scientist from Singapore’s Agency for Science, Technology and Research, the first and second authors respectively of a study ...

With each passing day, the performance of aerospace systems is increasing significantly. This requires the use of advanced structural and functional materials that possess the required characteristics ...

Lithium metal batteries promise dramatically higher energy density than today’s lithium-ion systems, yet their widespread use ...

This course introduces users to the three types of metal crystal structures, how grains develop in metal, the purpose of heat treating, and how these aspects impact a material's characteristics. Steel ...

A team of researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology has developed a new process that could help gain new insights into high-entropy alloys and help characterize their properties. High-entropy ...

As the number of biocompatible metals available for injection molding increases, the process is becoming a practical option for manufacturers of implants and surgical instruments. John L. Johnson ...
