Metal and metallic alloy casting is widely used for manufacturing components in high-performance industries, including automotive and aerospace. However, cast metallic alloys often exhibit limitations ...

Material engineers have created a patent-pending process to develop ultrahigh-strength aluminum alloys that are suitable for additive manufacturing because of their plastic deformability. They have ...

A recent article in Communications Materials proposed a novel approach to enhance the elastic modulus of a cast aluminum alloy by incorporating isostructural Laves phases to form a multi-component, ...

Achieving high fatigue strength in the 3D-printed NTD-Al alloy (AM NTD-Al). (A) Number of cycles to failure plotted against the maximum stress of AM NTD-Al, compared with other reported 3D-printed ...

MIT researchers have designed a printable aluminum alloy that’s five times stronger than cast aluminum and holds up at extreme temperatures. Machine learning helped them zero in on the ideal recipe in ...

The study demonstrates that aluminum manufacturing scrap can be transformed into metal alloys through a new method called solid phase alloying that perform on par with identical materials produced ...

Tesla has strengthened its intellectual property portfolio with many patent applications filed in the past months. The latest patent application shows improvement to the aluminum alloy used to cast ...
