“It is about 3-4 times harder than most steels,” said Emilia Morosan, the lead scientist on a new study in Science Advances that describes the properties of a 3-to-1 mixture of titanium and gold with ...

A 3D printed ‘metamaterial’ boasting levels of strength for weight not normally seen in nature or manufacturing could change how we make everything from medical implants to aircraft or rocket parts.

The natural surface of titanium sets limits to its use in many engineering applications which require sliding or rubbing wear resistance. Similarly the performance of the metal in both hot and cold ...

Researchers have demonstrated a new bilayer ceramic coating to extend the service life of tools needed in the machining of ...

Titanium alloys continue to play a critical role in the advancement of biomedical applications owing to their exceptional biocompatibility, high corrosion resistance and favourable mechanical ...

It's not Wolverine's Adamantium, but it's pretty damn close. Scientists have just developed a new hyper-strong metal alloy that's perfect for biomedical implants. "It is about three to four times ...

Engineers at Monash University have developed a new 3D-printable titanium alloy with a unique microstructure that makes it ultra-strong. Not only is it stronger than most other forms of titanium, but ...

Chemical & Materials Engineering Assistant Professor Yufeng Zheng will begin research this August to design novel titanium alloys with both high strength and ductility (capability of materials to bend ...

3D printed Titanium alloys under an electron microscope: sample on the left with large, elongated crystals was printed conventionally, while sample on the right with finer, shorter crystals was ...

The basis of the nickel-titanium shape memory alloy (SMA) class is the intermetallic equiatomic binary alloy NiTi. Its moderate solubility range allows its composition to be changed, and also enables ...

A chance discovery in a physics lab at Rice University has turned up an ultra-hard material that could usurp the titanium commonly used in today's knee and hip replacements. Scientists have found that ...
