New design approach identifies routes to stronger titanium alloys

Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain Titanium alloys are essential structural materials for a wide range of applications, from aerospace and energy infrastructure to biomedical devices. But like most metals, optimizing their properties is often a trade-off between two key attributes: strength and ductility. Stronger materials are often less ductile, and ductile materials are often mechanically weak. … Read more
