LLNL Scientists studied how solidification rate influences microstructure evolution and phase transformation in additively ...

In this article, Oxford Instruments presents an experiment using electron back-scatter diffraction (EBSD) to characterise changes in microsctructure in the tensile region of a bent sheet of 6063 ...

In a world of 8 billion people, there's one thing that makes each of us unique: our fingerprints. A variety of genetic and environmental factors create tiny variations in the skin's ridges and whorls, ...

Artificial intelligence has just helped push one of the world’s most familiar metals into unfamiliar territory. By teaming advanced algorithms with 3D printing, researchers have created a new aluminum ...

Copper-Nickel-Tin alloys have emerged as high-performance materials, combining excellent strength with good ductility and corrosion resistance. Their superior mechanical properties stem from intricate ...

Researchers at Tohoku University have developed a new technique to identify the initiation sites of a destructive process ...

The study includes the manufacturing process of super-invar alloy of WAAM, the relationship between micro-structure and G/R, the mechanical properties and the CTE. The main transfer mode of liquid ...

Each figure shows the composition distribution of each element. While conventional methods are estimated to take over two years for this calculation, the researchers’ new method completes it in just ...

Manned space missions in spacecraft made of aluminium that is light yet resistant to radiation could be a step nearer. The MIAMI-2 -- Microscopes and Ion Accelerators for Materials Investigations -- ...

Pure aluminum (Al) is generally considered corrosion-resistant due to the protective nature of the spontaneously forming aluminum oxide passive film. This film acts as a wide bandgap insulator and ...
