Lead-free solder alloys have been around for as long as people have done soldering, with sources dating back about 5,000 years. Most of these alloys were combinations like copper-silver or silver-gold ...

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 ...

Researchers from Skoltech and MIPT and their German, Austrian, and Norwegian colleagues have proposed and tested a new method for computer modeling of magnetic alloys. The method, which relies on ...

When welding Aluminium alloy 1050 to itself or an alloy from the same subgroup the recommended filler wire is 1100. For welding to alloys 5083 and 5086 or alloys from the 7XXX series, the recommended ...

With a view to constructing more durable components that can withstand the very harsh environments in and around aircraft and jet engines, NASA researchers have developed a novel metal alloy with an ...

A research team from the Zhejiang University has successfully developed a new class of nickel-based superalloys (282 plus) that eliminates cobalt while maintaining high mechanical performance and good ...

Skoltech and MIPT researchers have sped up the search for high-performance metal alloys for the aerospace industry, ...

When alloys are formed by mixing with solutes, or dissolved substances, the dislocations act as preferred locations for the solutes. The solutes attach to dislocation threads like a swarm of bees, ...
