The breakthrough, published in the top journal Nature, could help extend the applications of titanium alloys, improve sustainability and drive innovative alloy design. Their discovery holds promise for a new class of more sustainable high-performance titanium alloys for applications in…
A new review explains how deliberately preserving chemical inhomogeneity in steels through a three-step heat-treatment route yields stronger, more ductile, and hydrogen-resistant alloys.
The team, led by Maryam Mehdizade, Ali Reza Eivani, Yashar Naghshin, Morteza Tayebi, and Amir Mostafaei, subjected AZ41 magnesium alloy to single-pass friction stir processing using different combinations of shoulder and pin sizes. Microstructural characterization showed that the samples processed with…
The Al0.6CoCrFeNi high-entropy alloy is unusual even by the standards of its class: depending on how it is processed, it can host not one but three coexisting crystal structures, the face-centered cubic (FCC), body-centered cubic (BCC) and ordered B2 phases. Temperature emerged…
The study found that increasing the rolling reduction promoted the fragmentation and refinement of coarse secondary phases in the alloy and further enhanced dynamic recrystallization. These microstructural changes set the stage for what happened next: during aging, a qualitatively denser…
Since most of the structures in FSI systems found in nature and in industry are flexible, it is critical to understand the influence of viscoelasticity on flexible structures. By pursuing such an understanding, this project will have a transformative impact…
Laser hardening is normally applied in the solid-state regime, and the behaviour of chromium steels treated at a line energy high enough to melt the surface is far less documented. Here 40Cr steel (AISI 5140) was laser hardened at 3000 W and 5 mm…
The special colour-changing effect of the ancient Roman Lycurgus Cup has been recreated for the first time, revealing insights into the nanotechnology behind the 1,600-year-old creation. The 4th-century artefact housed in the British Museum is made of a special type…
A Journal of Materials Science review organizes multiscale computational modelling evidence to show which precipitate parameters control the cutting-to-bypass transition and strengthening in age-hardenable alloys. Computational review maps how precipitate traits control alloy strength News Source: Neil Sanderson. (October 27, 2026). Computational…
Maintaining proper metal ion homeostasis is key to the survival of all organisms. In particular, the viability of many bacterial pathogens is linked to metal acquisition. The proteins that are involved in maintaining metal homeostasis control import and export (metallotransporters),…
