The graph shows the corrosion resistance of martensitic stainless steels with high hardness. It compares nitrogen alloyed grade (M340 = AISI 440Mod) with the standard grade AISI 440C.
Metallic glass is metal whose crystal structure has been changed to an amorphous structure similar to that of glass, and it combines the strength of steel with the formability of plastic.
A Missouri University of Science and Technology, Rolla, researcher and his colleagues have created a lightweight but very strong structural metal that could improve energy efficiency in aerospace, automobile, defense, mobile electronics, and biomedical applications.
Imagine an aircraft that could alter its wing shape in midflight and, like a pelican, dive into the water before morphing into a submarine.
