High-entropy alloys are promising advanced materials for demanding applications, but discovering useful compositions is difficult and expensive due to the vast number of possible element combinations.

Researchers have developed a new machine-learning-assisted approach to optimize micro-electro-discharge machining (µ-EDM) of ...

There are only two types of wheels you’ll see rolling around underneath the average modern motorcycle: wire-spoked wheels and alloy wheels. From first commercial motorcycles in the early-1900s up ...

City University of Hong Kong researchers have accidentally discovered a first-of-its-kind alloy that retains its stiffness instead of softening as the temperature rises. Indeed, high-entropy Elinvar ...

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 ...

Alloy wheels are made primarily from aluminum or a combination of aluminum with other metals like magnesium, nickel, or silicon. Aluminum offers a lightweight and strong foundation, while the ...

Researchers have uncovered a remarkable metal alloy that won t crack at extreme temperatures due to kinking, or bending, of crystals in the alloy at the atomic level. Unlike most materials, the new ...

Steel is a foundational material used in a huge number of sectors, from construction to transportation. With its strength, durability, and versatility, the material is invaluable. But not all steel is ...
