Nanoscale alloy redesign tackles cold brittleness
Original: Nanoscale alloy redesign tackles cold brittleness for potential deep-space and deep-sea applications
Researchers have redesigned an alloy at the nanoscale to overcome cold brittleness, the tendency of metals to become brittle and fracture at very low temperatures. The advance could make new materials suitable for extreme environments such as deep space and the deep ocean, where conventional alloys often fail. Details of the work were reported by Phys.org.
Why now: New materials able to survive extreme cold have direct implications for future space missions and deep-sea engineering.
