By applying machine learning techniques, engineers at MIT have created a new method for 3D printing metal alloys that produce ...

High-strength aluminum alloys are critical for making cars and planes more lightweight and fuel-efficient, but manufacturers ...

Aluminum is prized for being lightweight and strong, but at high temperatures it loses strength. This has limited its use in ...

There are only two types of wheels you’ll see rolling around underneath the average modern motorcycle: wire-spoked wheels and alloy wheels. From first commercial motorcycles in the early-1900s up ...

Robotics companies often have to deal with a simple but confounding problem: Robots produce a lot of data. Even a simple robot can easily produce up to a terabyte of data per day, since they ...

A new alloy combines the best of the refractory metals with cutting-edge engineering. Even these extremely tough metals can be made to deform and show bands of adjustment. These kink bands add ...

Researchers have uncovered a remarkable metal alloy that won t crack at extreme temperatures due to kinking, or bending, of crystals in the alloy at the atomic level. Unlike most materials, the new ...

Alloy wheels are made primarily from aluminum or a combination of aluminum with other metals like magnesium, nickel, or silicon. Aluminum offers a lightweight and strong foundation, while the ...
