This information is key to understanding how heat treatments affect the alloy's microstructure, helping manufacturers improve their processes. 1 The Apreo ChemiSEM system's TruePix EBSD detector ...

In a first, researchers have developed a new copper alloy that's one of the most resilient ... one and a half times the maximum pressure that steel can endure. These traits mean it could be ...

How It Works: The initial form of the steel casting alloy is transformed through cold bulk forming in a product with a fine-grained, re-transformed austenitic microstructure. The manufacturing route ...

The alloy is harder and stronger than the pure metal. Steel contains atoms of other elements as well as iron. These atoms have different sizes to iron atoms, so they distort the layers of atoms in ...

Adding alloys to steel yield higher strength, more wear-resistant metals. James Eads used alloy steel in the construction of a bridge across the Mississippi River -- the first steel bridge built ...
