Aluminum quickly is becoming the new metal of choice. Because of its lightweight, durability and corrosion-resistant properties, aluminum has secured its place as an essential material in the modern ...

Aluminium coatings constitute a pivotal strategy in combating corrosion, particularly in aggressive marine and industrial environments. Advances in thermal spray techniques have enabled the production ...

Metals may seem tough, but given enough time even plain old air can be their undoing. Oxygen reacts with it to form metal oxides like rust, but now it turns out a metal oxide may come to the rescue.

A large variety of spent fuels from research reactors around the world are currently stored underwater in basins. Most of this fuel is clad in aluminium based alloys that are susceptible to corrosion ...

A recent article published in npj Materials Degradation explored the defining role of nanoscale heterogeneities in corrosion pathways in a high-strength aluminum alloy via detailed electron microscopy ...

Alloys of aluminum are being implemented in heat transfer applications, including hot water boilers, more frequently due to aluminum’s very high conductance of heat. However, aluminum is much more ...

Military hardware operates under conditions that commercial engineering rarely encounters simultaneously: extreme mechanical ...

Researchers have found that untreated salts can create major challenges for molten salt reactors.
