When engineers want to make a metal stronger, one of the most reliable strategies is to use smaller grains—the microscopic ...

Testometric stocks a wide range of pneumatic, manual wedge, and pneumatic grips for tensile testing and also provides fixtures for cupping tests, flexural shear, compression and hardness tests.

When contemplating the use of perforated metal, the ability to offer a preferred level of strength can be very significant. If it is known that perforated metal is not as robust as non-perforated ...

To build safe and robust automobiles, spacecrafts, and other technology, scientists attempt to know as much as possible about various metals' properties. However, these properties can be tricky to ...

Researchers have dived down to the atomic scale to resolve every 'jiggle and wiggle' of atomic motion that underlies metal strength. Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory researchers have dived down ...

Researchers have found special atomic patterns called quasicrystals in 3D-printed aluminum alloys. Quasicrystals increase the strength of 3D-printed aluminum, the researchers discovered, making it ...
