UWM researchers deliver stronger, lighter, cheaper alloys

UWM researchers deliver stronger, lighter, cheaper alloys: "Cast metal matrix composites (MMCs), they are cheaper, lighter and stronger than their original alloys. In fact, an aluminum-based MMC developed at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee (UWM) can replace iron-based alloys."
