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 ...

Next-generation technology requires next-generation materials that can be tailored to exact mission requirements. Additive ...

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 ...

This Data is indicative only and must not be seen as a substitute for the full specification from which it is drawn. In particular, the mechanical property requirements vary widely with temper, ...

Metal and metallic alloy casting is widely used for manufacturing components in high-performance industries, including automotive and aerospace. However, cast metallic alloys often exhibit limitations ...

Dr Mike McDonagh provides insight into the factors involved in choosing and processing suitable alternative antimony alloys for lead-acid battery ...

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, ...

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