Ideally, steels and steel-related alloys should be capable of both properties: they should not fragment, for example during processing in a mill or as car bodies involved in an accident. In other ...

A team of scientists developed a new quantum-mechanics-based approach to predict metal ductility. The team demonstrated its effectiveness on refractory multi-principal-element alloys. A team of ...

Thanks to a new strategy in the development of materials related to steel, high strength and ductility are no longer mutually exclusive. For the steel industry, there may be a way out of the dilemma ...
