Tempering characteristics for P20 mold steels carburized at two different temperatures are shown in the graphs.
One Minute Mentor: Tempering Characteristics of P20 Mold Steel
Aluminum with added carbon nanotubes shows longer life under radiation
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, reports its researchers have found that, at least in some nuclear reactors, adding less than 2% carbon nanotubes to aluminum can dramatically slow the breakdown process that causes it to become porous and brittle.
Niobium-base master alloy improves grain refinement in magnesium-aluminum alloys
Brunel University, London, reports that a research team has found a patented niobium-base master alloy that not only fills the missing gap in grain refiners for magnesium alloys, but also offers significant advantages over titanium in aluminum-silicon alloys.
