In the world of metals, it has long been considered common knowledge that achieving both strength and ductility (the ability to stretch without breaking) at the same time is nearly impossible. When a ...
A new technique by which to 3-D print metals, involving a widely used stainless steel, has been show to achieve exception levels of both strength and ductility, when compared to counterparts from more ...
Previous work on the shock loading of metals, has shown that one-dimensional strain histories may be only be approximated in a loaded sample if it is to be recovered at late times to examine ...
WHEN the early craftsmen first observed that the metals they worked in were made harder by hammering, and that the original softness could be again restored to the hardened metal by heat, it probably ...
Engineers have discovered a new mechanism that governs the peak strength of nanostructured metals. They found that the deformation of nanotwinned metals is characterized by the motion of highly ...
(Nanowerk News) A team of scientists from Ames National Laboratory and Texas A&M University developed a new way to predict metal ductility. This quantum-mechanics-based approach fills a need for an ...
A new approach has emerged in which metals are deliberately designed with heterogeneous grain structures, combining grains of different sizes. This strategy has shown promise as a solution, but ...
Researchers investigated the effects of grain size and temperature on the deformation of commercially pure titanium at extremely low temperatures. Titanium (Ti), often hailed as the wonder metal for ...
ONE of the important characteristics of face-centred cubic metals (for certain applications) is their ability to retain resistance to low-strain fracture down to temperatures approaching absolute zero ...
To build electronic devices that can bend, fold, or stretch, engineers need flexible electronic materials. Engineers can choose from a wide range of ductile metals and insulators that deform under a ...
NioBay Metals Inc. (“NioBay” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: NBY) (OTCQB: NBYCF) is proud to announce the first results of the 2025 ...
