New 3D-printed titanium alloy offers greater strength at lower production cost by Michael Quin, RMIT University edited by Lisa Lock, reviewed by Andrew Zinin Editors' notes ...

The designed alloy is also superelastic across a much broader range of temperatures (4.2–400 kelvin) than most other superelastic alloys (data not shown; Adapted from Fig. 1b of ref. 1).

Their findings, published in the journal Science, introduce a Cu-Ta-Li (copper-tantalum-lithium) alloy with exceptional thermal stability and mechanical strength, making it one of the most ...

In contrast, making the alloy at lower temperatures arranges the atoms to another structure, the alpha version. This version is as hard as regular titanium, and is most likely the previously ...

Researchers have proven that a metallic alloy of chromium, cobalt and nickel is officially the toughest material on Earth — more than 100 times tougher than the wonder material graphene. In a ...
