Researchers 3D Print Nanostructured Alloy That’s Both Ultrastrong and Ductile

January 17, 2023

ATLANTA—A team of researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and the Georgia Institute of Technology has 3D printed a dual-phase, nanostructured high-entropy alloy that exceeds the strength and ductility of other state-of-the-art additively manufactured materials, which could lead to higher-performance components for applications in aerospace, medicine, energy and transportation.

Scientists Discover World’s Toughest Metal Alloy

January 13, 2023

OAK RIDGE, TN—Scientists have measured the highest toughness ever recorded, of any material, while investigating a metallic alloy made of chromium, cobalt and nickel (CrCoNi). Not only is the metal extremely ductile and impressively strong, its strength and ductility improve as it gets colder. This runs counter to most other materials in existence.

January 5, 2023

Acommon process for welding thick metal parts is submerged arc welding (SAW). Typically, SAW and other processes require beveling the workpieces to give the torch access to the joint root. The multi-pass process requires high heat input to the weldment and can generate a large heat affected zone (HAZ) along with distortion.
