Thanks to a new strategy in the development of materials related to steel, high strength and ductility are no longer mutually exclusive. For the steel industry, there may be a way out of the dilemma ...

Rice University researchers have developed a method for predicting the mechanical properties of composites before they go through the trouble of making them. Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) ...

As light as possible and as strong as possible at the same time. These are the requirements for modern lightweight materials, such as those used in aircraft construction and the automotive industry. A ...

• AHSS steels have both high strength and good formability. • A mixture of microstructures gives AHSS their properties. • Designers should aim for structural efficiency, thin plates, and strong joints ...

From hypersonic aircraft to nuclear-powered submarines, many of today's most advanced defense systems rely on a special class ...
