There are three reasons for choosing dimpling as the primary step in the preparation of transmission electron microscope (TEM) specimen: (1) Dimpling significantly minimizes the time required to carry ...

Thanks to a new strategy in the development of materials related to steel, high strength and ductility are no longer mutually exclusive. For the steel industry, there may be a way out of the dilemma ...

The study of dynamic instabilities and necking in ductile materials focuses on the processes through which materials experience localised thinning and eventual fragmentation under rapid deformation.

To material scientists the phrase "ductile intermetallic compounds" has long been considered an oxymoron. Although these compounds possess chemical, physical, electrical, magnetic, and ...

Dimpling has become the preferred first step in transmission electron microscope (TEM) specimen preparation for three reasons. Firstly, it significantly reduces the time needed for final thinning to ...

A research team from multiple institutions including the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (CAS), Beijing Computational Science Research Center, and Hangzhou Dianzi University ...

At the same time, it’s also more ductile, countering a common trade-off. “This unusual microstructure’s atomic rearrangement gives rise to ultrahigh strength as well as enhanced ductility, which is ...

New materials are still abundant in many research now, and a recent team of scientists created a 3D printed material that exceeds the most durable and ductile materials known to the world. A ...

A new technique from Purdue University is designed to improve missiles, engines and drinking glasses made from ceramic materials. (Stock photo) Something as simple as an electric field could soon make ...

(Nanowerk News) Developing a lightweight material that is both strong and highly ductile has been regarded as a long-desired goal in the field of structural materials, but these properties are ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Why does silicon, which usually shatters catastrophically like glass when fractured, suddenly change and show ductile fracture like metals when the temperature is increased? As ...
