Stainless steels, particularly austenitic grades, are capable of being fabricated by any conventional fabrication methods. The commonly used austenitic grades can be roll formed, spun, deep drawn, hot ...

A breakthrough study from KTH Royal Institute of Technology has quantified exactly how quickly and subtly liquid lead ...

Alumina-forming austenitic stainless steels represent an advanced class of high-temperature alloys engineered for use in aggressive oxidising environments. Distinguished by their ability to develop a ...

Retained austenite plays a crucial role in determining the hardness, toughness, and strength of martensitic steel alloys. The quenching of these alloys forms a hard martensitic phase, but incomplete ...

Iron, nickel, and cobalt-based alloys used primarily for high-temperature applications are known as superalloys. The iron-based grades, which are less expensive than cobalt or nickel-based grades, are ...

Safer operation, better fuel efficiency and lower waste mark lead-cooled nuclear power as a potentially dramatic shift from ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Steel is one of the most widely used engineering materials in the world. Its pre-eminent position amongst the engineering materials arises due to the abundance and low cost of its ...

The extreme conditions of nuclear reactors expose their structural alloys to high temperatures, stress, corrosion, and irradiation damage. Therefore, nuclear alloys require materials with high ...
