Compared to general structural steels, high tensile strength steel has increased strength making it ideal for the automotive industry where environmental problems and demands for collision safety are ...

Steel is an essential material and is used in various different applications. It is necessary to evaluate the chemical composition and mechanical properties of steel before choosing the right grade.

Researchers have dived down to the atomic scale to resolve every 'jiggle and wiggle' of atomic motion that underlies metal strength. Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory researchers have dived down ...

In this video excerpt from NOVA's "Making Stuff: Stronger" , host and New York Times technology columnist David Pogue visits DuPont™, where Kevlar® was invented. After learning how this bulletproof ...

When engineers want to make a metal stronger, one of the most reliable strategies is to use smaller grains—the microscopic crystal regions within the material. But when deformed at extreme speeds, ...
