NEW PRECIPITATES TECHNIQUE BOOST STRENGTH, DUCTILITY OF STRUCTURAL ALLOYS

Scientists at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, have developed a method for simultaneously increasing the strength and ductility of an alloy.

Subsequent stress during deformation transforms the material with coarse precipitates, making it stronger and more ductile, but does not change the one with fine precipitates. Credit: Michelle Lehman/ORNL, U.S. Dept. of Energy
