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 ...

Chromium-molybdenum (chrome-moly) pipe has become a standard in the power generation industry, not only because of its corrosion resistance and high-temperature strength, but also for its ...

Platinum spark plugs are already a step up from copper. Double platinum plugs might seem like a straightforward upgrade, but it's not as simple as it seems.

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 ...

Graphite/metal alloy bearings handle harsh environments that lubricated bearings can’t. For example, a grease-filled ball bearing was used on an oven-door latch—but in tests, the bearing seized and ...

A new alloy combines the best of the refractory metals with cutting-edge engineering. Even these extremely tough metals can be made to deform and show bands of adjustment. These kink bands add ...
