Ideally, steels and steel-related alloys should be capable of both properties: they should not fragment, for example during processing in a mill or as car bodies involved in an accident. In other ...

Materials scientists have recently discovered a new mechanism to increase the strength and ductility of a high-entropy alloy, two properties which normally vary inversely with each other. The findings ...

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 ...
