The History of Stainless Steel (Pre-Publication)

The History of Stainless Steel (Pre-Publication): "“Chemical engineers designing, operating and maintaining their ever-expanding industry during the second half of the 20th century relied heavily on stainless steels. Few, however, were familiar with or understood its history. This treatise satisfies that shortcoming in an interesting, readable manner."

Nanoscale structures with superior mechanical properties developed

Nanoscale structures with superior mechanical properties developed: "ScienceDaily (Feb. 13, 2010) — Researchers at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have developed a way to make some notoriously brittle materials ductile -- yet stronger than ever -- simply by reducing their size."

New knowledge about the deformation of nanocrystals offers new tools for nanotechnology

New knowledge about the deformation of nanocrystals offers new tools for nanotechnology: "With new, advanced equipment, scientists at Risø DTU have shown that materials to produce micro-and nanocomponents react very differently depending on whether crystals are large or small. This research creates important knowledge that can be used to develop technologies aimed at the nanoproduction of micro-electro-mechanical systems such as digital microphones in mobile phones, miniature pressure sensors in water pumps and acceleration sensors in airbags."

"Introduction to Nanoscience" Provides Readers with Overview of Emerging Discipline

"Introduction to Nanoscience" Provides Readers with Overview of Emerging Discipline: "Stuart Lindsay, Arizona State University Regents' professor and director of the Biodesign Institute's Center for Single Molecule Biophysics, has just released the first comprehensive guide to a tiny world a million times smaller than a single grain of sand. Introduction to Nanoscience (published by Oxford University Press) provides readers with an overview of an emerging discipline which has in recent years, produced remarkable achievements in areas as varied as DNA sequencing, molecular machinery, nanocrystals and microscopy."

ATI Allvac® 718Plus®

ATI Allvac® 718Plus® The superalloy for the 21at century.
Allvac® 718Plus® alloy was developed to be a lower cost alloy capable of use at higher temperatures than 718 with similar manufacturability compared with existing superalloys. This new alloy achieves this and much more. Utilizing 718Plus alloy in gas turbine applications is showing a substantial cost savings without sacrificing the strength and safety that are needed in critical parts. With evaluations in the final stages, major manufacturers are gearing up to put 718Plus alloy into production.
