A team of scientists developed a new quantum-mechanics-based approach to predict metal ductility. The team demonstrated its effectiveness on refractory multi-principal-element alloys. A team of ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Something as simple as an electric field could soon make wartime missiles or drinking mugs easier to produce and more resilient for fracture. Items such as drinking mugs, ...

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 ...

A research team co-led by materials scientists from City University of Hong Kong (CityU) has recently discovered a new mechanism to increase the strength and ductility of a high-entropy alloy, two ...

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 Yale study from the School of Engineering and Applied Science developed a method to increase the ductility of bulk metallic glasses, or BMGs. Researchers at SEAS, in professor of mechanical ...

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 ...

Strength, ductility and toughness are three very important, closely related material properties. The yield and ultimate strengths tell us how much stress a material can withstand, and are often used ...

Rocks are forced to change shape at or near plate boundaries. Rocks can experience squeezing, stretching, or pushing in different directions in response to stress. This response depends on the type of ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Something as simple as an electric field could soon make wartime missiles or drinking mugs easier to produce and more resilient for fracture. Items such as drinking mugs, ...

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 inexpensive, ...
