Scientists in Russia experimenting with advanced aluminum alloys have developed a new heat-resistant form of the material that can endure far higher temperatures. Fashioned into a thin wire, the ...

Tianjin University scientists have developed a technique to significantly enhance the heat resistance of aluminum alloys. The new alloys can withstand temperatures up to 662°F, making them suitable ...

A Chinese scientist team has improved aluminum alloys' heat resistance, addressing a critical obstacle in aircraft and transport. Aluminum alloys are desirable because of their low density, high ...

Aluminium alloys are well-known for their low weight and corrosion resistance, making them ideal candidates for applications in a low-carbon economy - from lightweight automobiles to tanks for storing ...

(Nanowerk News) It is estimated that over 80% of engineering failures are due to material fatigue, so the fight against metal fatigue failures continues, as this is a key parameter for lightweight ...

Aluminium toxicity severely hampers crop productivity in acidic soils, yet the genes behind plant resistance remain only partially understood. New research identifies ANAC050, a transcription factor ...

A fast-charging and fire-resistant battery made from aluminium and sulphur could be used in electric cars, avoiding the environmental problems and fire hazards linked to lithium-ion batteries. Modern ...

Manned space missions in spacecraft made of aluminium that is light yet resistant to radiation could be a step nearer. The MIAMI-2 -- Microscopes and Ion Accelerators for Materials Investigations -- ...
