Much has yet to be learned regarding the alloys of metals, because a very small difference in the proportions of the metals employed produces a great difference in the quality of the alloy sought ...

Lead-free solder alloys have been around for as long as people have done soldering, with sources dating back about 5,000 years. Most of these alloys were combinations like copper-silver or silver ...

The fusion of metals and the mode of mixing them in the crucible to form alloys require much care, because alloys are very difficult to make, especially when the metals, of which they are composed ...

Iridium-doped iron-cobalt (Fe-Co-Ir) alloys, previously identified through machine learning, have been shown to have enhanced magnetic properties, surpassing even the widely used pure Fe-Co alloy.

Researchers have unveiled a groundbreaking titanium-aluminum alloy that maintains superelasticity across an unprecedented ...

Many pure metals are too soft for many uses. They can be made harder by adding another element to the pure metal, so forming an alloy. This explains why an alloy often has more uses than the pure ...
