Aerospace Materials
Materials science; Dynamic testing
.Aerospace materials are materials, frequently metal alloys, that have either been developed for, or have come to prominence through, their use for aerospace purposes..
Non Ferrous Materials
Materials science; Metallurgy
Nonferrous materials and their alloys do not contain iron as a principle ingredient, although they may contain small percentages. These include the radioactive metals ...
Metamaterials
Materials science; Metallurgy
A meta material is a metallic or semiconductor substance whose properties depend on its inter-atomic structure rather than on the composition of the atoms themselves. Certain meta ...
High-alloy Steels
Materials science; Metallurgy
For the most part, we're talking about stainless steel here, the most important commercial high-alloy steel. Stainless steels are at least 12 percent chromium and many have ...
Martensitic stainless steels
Materials science; Metallurgy
Martensitic stainless steels make up the cutlery grades. They have the least amount of chromium, offer high hardenability, and require both pre- and postheating when welding to ...
Ferritic stainless steels
Materials science; Metallurgy
Ferritic stainless steels have 12 to 27 percent chromium with small amounts of austenite-forming alloys.
Austenitic stainless steels
Materials science; Metallurgy
Austenitic stainless steels offer excellent weldability, but austenite isn't stable at room temperature. Consequently, specific alloys must be added to stabilize austenite. ...
