Changing the carbon content of the alloy changes the microstructure of the pearlite and hence the mechanical properties of the alloy. The vertical alloy composition line on the partial phase diagram ...

Skoltech and MIPT researchers have sped up the search for high-performance metal alloys for the aerospace industry, ...

Identifying alloy properties can be expensive and time-consuming. Experiments involving alloys often require a number of resources. Calculating alloys can also become extremely complicated ...

Just as a snowflake's intricate structure vanishes when it melts and transforms when it refreezes, the microstructure of ...

There is a good reason why tin (Sn) is so commonly used in soft solder and solder alloys: it melts at low temperatures (232°C) and offers good wetting (ability to flow on the pad) properties in ...

Cornell University researchers have uncovered a way to control these transformations in metal solidification by adjusting alloy composition, ultimately leading to stronger, more reliable metal parts.

The researchers tested their new approach on two groups of metals: five high-melting-point metals (vanadium, molybdenum, ...

Some of the materials in the family of Heusler alloys were predicted to have a half-metallic nature, but their half-metallic electronic structure varies with their composition ratio and atomic ...
