A new computer model has allowed the rapid design of an annealing process to soften stainless steel. Sandia National Laboratories researchers Lisa Deibler and Arthur Brown had a ready-made problem for ...

A new MIT-developed heat treatment transforms the microscopic structure of 3D-printed metals, making the materials stronger and more resilient in extreme thermal environments. The technique could make ...

Increasing the density of grain boundaries can enhance the room-temperature strength of polycrystalline alloys. However, at high temperatures, the diffusion of grain boundaries decreases their ...

Many different deformation textures are observed in submersible-collected gabbros from the Mid-Cayman Rise spreading center, indicating considerable variation in conditions of deformation in this ...
