Instead of heating metals, Foundation Alloy beats them into submission. The startup has raised $22 million to scale up production of its alloys.

A University at Buffalo-led team of researchers has developed a method for producing advanced nanoparticles that could ...

Combining metals to produce alloys that are stronger or tougher requires extremely high temperatures as part of the process.

Engineers have spent decades trying to build metals that do not snap, melt, or grind away under extreme conditions, and for a long time the tradeoffs seemed unavoidable. Push strength too far and a ...

A group of researchers has discovered that a special metallic alloy consisting of chromium, cobalt, and nickel is the toughest material on Earth. Based on experiments and tests, as well as findings ...

In the last few decades, metal 3D printing has spearheaded the efforts in creating custom parts of intricate shapes and high functionality. But as additive manufacturers have included more alloys for ...

City University of Hong Kong researchers have accidentally discovered a first-of-its-kind alloy that retains its stiffness instead of softening as the temperature rises. Indeed, high-entropy Elinvar ...

What are the properties worth considering when selecting a particular metal alloy for a medical device? The short answer: any decision made on the mechanical, chemical and physical properties of metal ...
