Engineers at Monash University have developed a new 3D-printable titanium alloy with a unique microstructure that makes it ultra-strong. Not only is it stronger than most other forms of titanium, but it has the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any 3… Continue reading New titanium alloy has highest specific strength of any 3D-printed metal
With new manufacturing techniques comes the opportunity for brand new metal alloys with a huge range of possible properties. A team of researchers has now developed a new 3D-printable alloy with a specific nanostructure that makes it ultra strong and d… Continue reading 3D-printable 5-metal alloy proves ultra-strong but ductile
Making knives at home has become a popular hobby, thanks partly to reality TV and the free time and idle hands afforded by lockdowns. Depending on how far you get …read more Continue reading This Stainless Steel Knife Build Starts with Raw Iron Ore
Scientists experimenting with the makeup of metal alloys used for medical implants have made a significant breakthrough, resulting in a biomaterial with supreme flexibility and wear resistance. The team’s new superelastic alloy overcomes some key safet… Continue reading New superelastic metal alloy bends it like bone for safer implants
One of the advantages of 3D printing is the fact that instead of being cast as a solid piece of material, items can include material exactly where it’s needed. The Elix bicycle handlebar stem takes this approach to a performance-boosting – and pocketbo… Continue reading 3D-printed handlebar stem is stiff, lightweight – and costs £500
With a view to constructing more durable components that can withstand the very harsh environments in and around aircraft and jet engines, NASA researchers have developed a novel metal alloy with an impressive set of qualities at extreme temperatures. … Continue reading Novel NASA alloy offers “remarkable” properties at extreme temperatures
Veriff announced that it is partnering with Alloy to bolster the company’s existing identity verification and know your customer (KYC) offerings. Through this partnership, Veriff will provide Alloy customers with additional identity verification … Continue reading Veriff partners with Alloy to offer identity verification solutions for financial service institutions
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 appears to get stiffer and springier as temperatures … Continue reading Super-elastic alloy is first known metal to get springier as it heats up
Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences have found that Earth’s inner core may be stranger than we thought. Rather than a plain solid, new simulations suggest it exists as a superionic state of matter, partway between a liquid and a solid.Cont… Continue reading Earth’s inner core is a strange superionic iron alloy, study suggests
As useful as steel is, its main weakness may be its vulnerability to corrosion. Researchers in Korea have now developed a new alloy coating that boosts steel’s resistance to rust, by adding a simple extra step in the surface treatment.Continue ReadingC… Continue reading New alloy coating builds an inner shield to stop steel rusting
