Electrical conductivity: copper has the highest conductivity of the engineering metals. Silver or other elements may be added to increase strength, softening resistance or other properties without ...

With a view to constructing more durable components that can withstand the very harsh environments in and around aircraft and jet engines, NASA researchers have developed a novel metal alloy with an ...

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-gold ...

When welding Aluminium alloy 1050 to itself or an alloy from the same subgroup the recommended filler wire is 1100. For welding to alloys 5083 and 5086 or alloys from the 7XXX series, the recommended ...

Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) maps of the investigated Inconel 718 alloys. Inverse pole figure (IPF) maps along the X direction (horizontal) are presented for a A wrought and fully ...

Ingenious people have produced alloys since ancient times. By trial and error, they mixed metals and other elements until the whole came out better than any component alone. In recent years, some ...

Dr Mike McDonagh provides insight into the factors involved in choosing and processing suitable alternative antimony alloys for lead-acid battery ...

Next-generation technology requires next-generation materials that can be tailored to exact mission requirements. Additive ...

Skoltech and MIPT researchers have sped up the search for high-performance metal alloys for the aerospace industry, ...
