Researchers have devised a method for combining high-cost platinum and a low-cost rare earth element, lanthanum, as an alloy to serve as a catalyst in the next generation of fuel cells that will ...

Researchers at the University of Toronto Engineering have developed six new metal alloys using ...

Researchers have uncovered a remarkable metal alloy that won t crack at extreme temperatures due to kinking, or bending, of crystals in the alloy at the atomic level. Unlike most materials, the new ...

Steels that contain specified amounts of alloying elements -- other than carbon and the commonly accepted amounts of manganese, copper, silicon, sulfur, and phosphorus -- are known as alloy steels.

Researchers from Australia, China and the United States tested the method on an alloy of titanium, hafnium, tantalum, niobium and zirconium, forming a tightly connected nanostructure that achieved a ...

Using AI-driven materials design, a team of researchers at the University of Toronto Engineering has discovered a new set of ...

Decarbonization of automobiles not only requires a shift from gasoline engines to electric motors, but also quality steel parts that help the motors run while lessening the weight of vehicles.
