Steels that contain specified amounts of alloying elements -- other than carbon and the commonly accepted amounts of manganese, copper, silicon, sulfur, and phosphorus -- are known as alloy steels.

In its purest form, iron is neither exceptionally strong nor hard - in fact, a block of pure iron could be cut with a knife. The addition of carbon and the removal of oxygen are what give iron-based ...

Investigating ways to create high-performance steel, a research team used theoretical calculations on 120 combinations of 12 alloy elements, such as aluminum and titanium, with carbon and nitrogen, ...

Hydrogen is expected to play a central role in future clean energy systems, but storing it efficiently and safely remains one ...

Scientists at Yale University have devised a dramatically faster way of identifying and characterizing complex alloys known as bulk metallic glasses (BMGs), a versatile type of pliable glass that’s ...

The automotive and aircraft industries often use aluminum alloys as they combine the mechanical properties of alloys, and the light weight aspects of the aluminum. The composition of the elements is ...

A team of researchers has developed a machine learning–based method to design advanced metal alloys without relying on ...

Building prediction models for high entropy alloys (HEAs) using material data is challenging, as datasets are often lacking or heavily biased. Now, researchers have developed a new evidence-based ...

This study is led by Dr. Yixing Li (School of Materials Science and Engineering, Northeastern University) and Professor Xuefeng Zhang (School of Materials Science and Engineering, Northeastern ...
