A new technique harnesses microscopic dislocations as shock absorbers to toughen aluminum-steel joints. The method, which involves a simple heat treatment and rapid cooling process, increases joint strength by 80.3% and fracture toughness by 70%.
A Concordia professor has developed a faster way to predict fatigue damage in metal parts, addressing a longstanding challenge in engineering. The new framework, which completed calculations in 4.5 minutes, could help researchers develop more accurate models of damage accumulation and improve component designs.
A new post-processing route improves tensile strength and ductility in 3D-printed alloys by combining deep cryogenic treatment and laser shock peening. This method transforms the microscopic structure of 3D-printed metals, relieving internal stresses and enhancing mechanical resilience.
A team of researchers from City University of Hong Kong and Shanghai Jiao Tong University has developed a novel aluminium alloy with unprecedented fatigue resistance using advanced 3D printing techniques. The new alloy, called NTD-Al, surpasses the fatigue strength of high-strength wrought Al alloys and conventional metals.
Researchers at the University of Illinois have developed a new method to capture and predict the fatigue strength of metallic materials using automated high-resolution electron imaging. This approach allows for rapid prediction of metal failure and breakage, leading to design of safer and more resilient materials for various applications.
