Ferroalloys are important components in metal production. Iron and steel smelter are leading users of ferroalloys. Ferrosilicon (FeSi) is one of the most widely used ferroalloys with a high rate of ...

Researchers at Switzerland’s Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne have developed a low-temperature annealing method that maintains the structure of gold and silver when the two metals are combined ...

A collaborative research team has developed a novel method for forming high-performance high-entropy alloy (HEA) films on various surfaces without using expensive alloy targets. This was achieved ...

Humans have been making metal alloys for thousands of years, and most of us can conjure a rough mental image of the process—it involves red-hot molten metals being mixed, poured, and shaped in a ...

(a1-d1) 3D visualization images of the quasi in situ XRT test sample evaluating the size and spatial distribution of microvoids. (a2-d2) Reconstructed orientation maps of prior β grains based on the ...

Researchers developed a 3D printing-based method to tailor metal alloys by composition and structure, creating stronger, application-specific materials. (Nanowerk News) Caltech scientists have ...

Heat treatment originated in the Bronze Age and was developed further for processing iron (blacksmithing) around 800 BC, reaching a first peak with the production of Damascus steel at the start of the ...

XRF sample preparation is a precise method of preparing analytes for elemental analysis. For example, organic samples being analyzed by XRF must be uniformly homogenized through the use of hydraulic ...
