Engineers at MIT have taken a metal that usually trades strength for lightness and pushed it into an entirely new class, ...

Researchers at IMDEA Materials Institute have developed a streamlined and industrially scalable methodology to design and control microstructure in nickel-based superalloys manufactured by laser ...

The properties of steel can be improved in terms of fatigue, weldability, hardness, wear and corrosion resistance, ductility, and tensile strength by either alloy addition or heat treatment processes.

Researchers at Fudan University are developing a reconstruction algorithm that enables quantitative bone imaging using ultrasonic computed tomography. (Courtesy: Dean Ta) Osteoporosis is a bone ...

The surface properties of some steel alloys can be adjusted through the introduction of specific elements via diffusion. An example of such a process is nitriding, where nitrogen is diffused into the ...

Pressure tube deformation is an important aging issue in operating heavy water reactors (HWRs) and the R&D community continues to develop improved predictive models for in-reactor deformation. To ...
