For example, brass is an alloy of copper and zinc. It is stronger than copper or zinc alone. Copper and zinc atoms are different sizes. This distorts the regular lattice structure in brass ...

Many pure metals are too soft for many uses. They can be made harder by adding another element to the pure metal, so forming an alloy. This explains why an alloy often has more uses than the pure ...

Alloying, the art of blending metals with other elements, has long been a cornerstone of materials science and metallurgy, creating materials with tailored properties. In contrast, dealloying has been ...

Researchers at MPI-SusMat have transformed dealloying, traditionally a corrosive process, into a tool for creating ...

the team developed nano-porous martensitic alloys using reactive gases like ammonia, which simultaneously remove oxygen and introduce nitrogen into the material's structure. This sustainable ...

Three-year-long experiments conducted at China’s Tiangong space station have resulted in the groundbreaking niobium alloy.
