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.

Engineers have spent decades trying to build metals that do not snap, melt, or grind away under extreme conditions, and for a long time the tradeoffs seemed unavoidable. Push strength too far and a ...

In recently published research, scientists have revealed a special alloy that could change the game with its combination of temperature tolerance, resistance to wear, and previously unheard of ...

AISI 4140 (Cr–Mo) Alloy steel High strength, toughness, fatigue + wear resistance Shafts, spindles, crankshafts, heavy-duty parts Dynamic loading + heat-treated parts 304 Stainless (18/8) Austenitic ...

With new manufacturing techniques comes the opportunity for new metal alloys with a range of possible properties. A team of researchers has now developed a new 3D-printable alloy with a specific ...

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 ...

Graphite/metal alloy bearings handle harsh environments that lubricated bearings can’t. For example, a grease-filled ball bearing was used on an oven-door latch—but in tests, the bearing seized and ...

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 ...
