Scientists in Japan working to stretch the limits of super-elastic materials have made a significant breakthrough, demonstrating a new iron-based alloy that endures extremely high and low temperatures ...

The best materials are, by and large, the most expensive: carbon fiber, diamond and scandium all have properties to lust for, but an eye-watering price tag to match. Now, material scientists have ...

At the core of the “slinky” innovation is Aperam’s AFK family of iron-cobalt alloys, including IMPHY® AFK1, AFK18, and AFK502R. These materials are already trusted in the aerospace industry for their ...

Few people realise that the nickel-iron alloy, Invar, plays a crucial part in so many of their household controls and office appliances. This role was established soon after its discovery 100 years ...

The Unified Numbering System (UNS) for Metals and Alloys is established to correlate several internationally used alloy and metal numbering systems, which are now commonly used by trade associations, ...
