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 ...

Steel is a foundational material used in a huge number of sectors, from construction to transportation. With its strength, durability, and versatility, the material is invaluable. But not all steel is ...

Alloy wheels are made primarily from aluminum or a combination of aluminum with other metals like magnesium, nickel, or silicon. Aluminum offers a lightweight and strong foundation, while the ...

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.

Alloy 617 - a combination of nickel, chromium, cobalt and molybdenum - has been approved by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) for inclusion in its Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code.
