Researchers developed a 3D-printed concrete composite with alternating layers of mortar and polymer, enhancing mechanical ...

The deep cryogenic treatment + laser shock peening produces gradient heterogeneous structures, as well as the multiple effects of heterodeformation-induced hardening, transformation-induced plasticity ...

Materials scientists have recently discovered a new mechanism to increase the strength and ductility of a high-entropy alloy, two properties which normally vary inversely with each other. The findings ...

A kind of high-performance molybdenum alloy, nanoscale ZrC dispersion strengthened Mo alloy with high strength and excellent ductility, was fabricated recently by a collaborated research team from ...

A new chromium-molybdenum-silicon alloy has overcome a decades-old trade-off between strength and stability. The alloy, developed by German researchers, has a rare combination of ductility at room ...

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 alloy, developed by German researchers, has a rare combination of ductility at room temperature and oxidation resistance at temperatures up to 1100 °C, important qualities for durable materials in ...

Thanks to a new strategy in the development of materials related to steel, high strength and ductility are no longer mutually exclusive. For the steel industry, there may be a way out of the dilemma ...

Carbon steel is an iron-carbon alloy. Although pure iron is not intrinsically strong, adding carbon imparts great strength to this material. Crude iron, which is used in steel production, has a high ...
