Lead-free solder alloys have been around for as long as people have done soldering, with sources dating back about 5,000 years. Most of these alloys were combinations like copper-silver or silver-gold ...

Electrical conductivity: copper has the highest conductivity of the engineering metals. Silver or other elements may be added to increase strength, softening resistance or other properties without ...

Researchers from Skoltech and MIPT and their German, Austrian, and Norwegian colleagues have proposed and tested a new method for computer modeling of magnetic alloys. The method, which relies on ...

KBM Affilips supplies a complete range of alloys, including the copper-zirconium (CuZr) alloy, for use in the global copper industry. One such product offered by KBM Affilips is copper-zirconium (CuZr ...

With a view to constructing more durable components that can withstand the very harsh environments in and around aircraft and jet engines, NASA researchers have developed a novel metal alloy with an ...

Skoltech and MIPT researchers have sped up the search for high-performance metal alloys for the aerospace industry, ...

When alloys are formed by mixing with solutes, or dissolved substances, the dislocations act as preferred locations for the solutes. The solutes attach to dislocation threads like a swarm of bees, ...

High entropy alloys or HEAs consist of five or more different metallic elements and are an extremely interesting class of materials with a great diversity of potential applications. Since the ...
