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.

Investigating ways to create high-performance steel, a research team used theoretical calculations on 120 combinations of 12 alloy elements, such as aluminum and titanium, with carbon and nitrogen, ...

A new way to calculate the interaction between a metal and its alloying material could speed the hunt for a new material that combines the hardness of ceramic with the resilience of metal. A new way ...

Alloys are not just random combinations of elements; they are precisely engineered to enhance specific properties, such as strength, corrosion resistance, ductility, and conductivity. 1, 2 For example ...

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 ...

Performance requirements on alloys are becoming more stringent for end users in industries such as aerospace, medical, power generation, oil and gas, specialty automotive, and trucks. These ...
