Previous research into lightweight steel has focused on mixing in aluminum in varying proportions to attempt to reduce the density, and therefore the weight. Unfortunately, upping the aluminum content ...

Scientists at Rice University have cooked up a new alloy with a unique and diverse set of attributes that could prove highly effective at protecting steel from corrosion. The novel coating not only ...

Steels that contain specified amounts of alloying elements -- other than carbon and the commonly accepted amounts of manganese, copper, silicon, sulfur, and phosphorus -- are known as alloy steels.

There are many different grades and types of steel alloys available worldwide. However, depending on the composition, alloy steel groups can be easily classified. A major type is known as the ...

A team of engineers has developed and tested a type of steel with a record-breaking ability to withstand an impact without deforming permanently. The new steel alloy could be used in a wide range of ...

Alloy steels contain a wide range of steels comprising compositions that exceed the limitations of Si, Va, Cr, Ni, Mo, Mn, B and C which have been allocated for carbon steels. Alloy steels can be used ...

As Arthur Moore transitioned from serving the United States in World War II to building a career in the steel industry, he noticed some similarities between the two pursuits. While there were obvious ...
