In a first, researchers have developed a new copper alloy that's one of the most resilient copper-based materials ever made.

Such are the general conditions which should be followed in making alloys. Copper melts at 1920 Fah. ; zinc at 700 Fah. ; lead at 590 Fah. ; tin at 450 Fah. ; cast-iron at 2100 Fah. A dull red ...

The strongest Cu-Ta-Li alloy developed to date exhibits outstanding strength and stability, making it ideal for advanced ...

For example, brass is an alloy of copper and zinc. It is stronger than copper or zinc alone. Copper and zinc atoms are different sizes. This distorts the regular lattice structure in brass ...

New solution: Feng Nei in the lab with his zinc alloy prototype. (Credit: Monash University) Orthopaedic implants that bear loads while bones heal, then disappear once they’re no longer needed, could ...

The innovative solid phase alloying process converts aluminum scrap blended with copper, zinc and magnesium into a precisely designed high-strength aluminum alloy product in a matter of minutes ...
