Coatings and mechanical alloying techniques have emerged as pivotal methods for enhancing surface properties of steel substrates. These processes enable the deposition of protective and functional ...

The past five years have seen an increasing interest in the novel applications of electrical discharge machining, particularly from the Far East and Europe, with industry starting to see the potential ...

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.

We are at a critical time and supporting climate journalism is more important than ever. Science News and our parent organization, the Society for Science, need your help to strengthen environmental ...

With iron being one of the most abundant metals on Earth, its transformation into steel also makes it one of the most useful. With applications in almost every realm of manufacturing and construction ...

Previous research into lightweight steel has focused on mixing in aluminum in varying proportions to attempt to reduce the density, and therefore the weight. Unfortunately, upping the aluminum content ...

Niobium is a raw material for which there is a strong global demand, particularly in the steel industry. In pipelines, for example, niobium ensures that the steel does not become brittle even at ...

A team of engineers has developed and tested a type of steel with a record-breaking ability to withstand an impact without deforming permanently. The new steel alloy could be used in a wide range of ...

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 ...
