Copper continues to be viewed as the domestic appliance industry’s preferred material and this is likely to be the case for years to come, with a predicted 1.9 million tonnes being used annually by 2022, according to new research.
A new method by which to 3D print metals, involving an extensively used stainless steel, has been shown to realize exceptional levels of both ductility and strength, when compared to counterparts from more conventional processes.
Considered as the lightest of all structural metals, magnesium has a lot going for it in the mission to manufacture ever lighter trucks and cars that go farther on a battery charge or a tank of fuel.
Researchers from the Stanford University have discovered that advanced metal mixtures that are stronger, lighter, and highly heat-resistant when compared to traditional alloys can be synthesized by means of high pressure.
Scientists at Penn State believe that the discovery of atomic chains in a two-dimensional crystal could help them to find a way to handle the direction of materials properties in both two- and three-dimensional crystals. This could have implications in next-generation electronics, optoelectronics and sensing applications.
A new way to predict which alloys will produce metallic glasses has been discovered by scientists. The research could lead to new powerful, conductive materials.
The Mexican automotive industry is growing steadily. The current trends in national technology used for the development of innovative materials provide an opportunity to enter into the international market. Mexican researchers have created products that help reduce the risks of injury in car accidents. These products are derived from the combination of metals that have porous characteristics and a "super elastic" capacity.
Increasing amounts of energy are lost on a daily basis in the form of waste heat. A recent interdisciplinary project at Chalmers has discovered that a unique class of material, known as high-entropy alloys, is capable of making room for efficient heat recycling.
A team of researchers from the Department of Energy at Oak Ridge National Laboratory has partnered with Wisconsin-based Eck Industries and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) to create aluminum alloys that have easier workability and better tolerance to heat than currently available products.
A team of researchers from the Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung in Düsseldorf have created a novel metallic material, which possesses very high strength as well as ductility simultaneously.
