“Most lightweight aluminum alloys are soft and have inherently low mechanical ... is made possible by introducing “stacking faults,” or distortions in the crystal structure. While these are easy to ...

In the most well-known superelastic material, i.e. TiNi alloys ... metals of iron and aluminum, the superelastic properties ...

Shang said these metals traditionally have been largely avoided in the manufacture of aluminum alloys. “These intermetallics have crystal structures with low symmetry and are known to be brittle at ...

Al-Ce intermetallics usually have anisotropic crystal structures and tend to ... gradually cooling high-temperature aluminum melt. The master alloy had a composition of Al53.7 %-Ce18.14 %-Cu19.08 ...

Alloys help aluminium become harder via precipitation ... which has a complex crystal structure of Mg32(Zn,Al)49. The research led to a paper that has been published in the journal Advanced ...

A new study by Professor Tao Sun tracks the evolution of crystallographic defects in real time during metal additive manufacturing.

The electronic configuration of Aluminum is (Ne)(3s) 2 (3p) 1, and it has an atomic radius of 0.143 nm. At room temperature Aluminum has the face-centered-cubic crystal structure with a basis of one ...

Well, it turns out that, quite accidentally, a particular Aluminum-Zirconium alloy was forming small ... cracks as easily as a regular crystal structure, and you would be right!

Shang said these metals traditionally have been largely avoided in the manufacture of aluminum alloys. "These intermetallics have crystal structures with low symmetry and are known to be brittle ...
