Scientists at Rice University have cooked up a new alloy with a unique and diverse set of attributes that could prove highly effective at protecting steel from corrosion. The novel coating not only ...

The choice between alloy wheels and steel wheels comes down to more than just aesthetics, as there are also performance differences between the two.

There are many different grades and types of steel alloys available worldwide. However, depending on the composition, alloy steel groups can be easily classified. A major type is known as the ...

Strength and flexibility are two opposites that usually need to be balanced in steel. But now engineers at Purdue University and Sandia National Labs have developed a new treatment that can be applied ...

The paper focuses on steel, an alloy of iron and carbon. However, Upmanyu notes the model applies broadly—not just to metals but also to ceramics like metal oxides. "We feel it's general enough ...

AISI 4140 (Cr–Mo) Alloy steel High strength, toughness, fatigue + wear resistance Shafts, spindles, crankshafts, heavy-duty parts Dynamic loading + heat-treated parts 304 Stainless (18/8) Austenitic ...

A new treatment tested on a high-quality steel alloy produces extraordinary strength and plasticity, two traits that must typically be balanced rather than combined. Ultra-fine metal grains that the ...

Metal and metallic alloy casting is widely used for manufacturing components in high-performance industries, including automotive and aerospace. However, cast metallic alloys often exhibit limitations ...

Researchers say they’ve made a new “super steel” that challenges conventional wisdom about new steel alloys. Instead of the usual fine-tuned balance of tradeoffs, scientists at the University of Hong ...

Engineers have transformed a notoriously brittle cobalt-aluminum compound into a material that is both extremely strong and capable of bending without breaking. Their nanoscale design produced a yield ...

NEW DELHI, Aug 11 (Reuters) - The Indian alloy steel producers' association has filed an anti-dumping petition with the federal trade ministry against cheap imports from China, its senior executive ...
