With great happiness and on behalf of my co-authors, we share our just published review paper entitled “On the potential of aluminium crossover alloys“, available online on the prestigious journal Progress in Materials Science.

This paper is the consolidation of Dr. Stemper’s doctoral research on the development of a new alloy design strategy now known as “crossover alloying”. By developing such new metallurgical concept, Dr. Stemper was able to engineering a novel class of lightweight aluminium alloys with great potential to overcome previous commercial alloys in several application areas. The crossover alloy concept outlooks for the future of metallurgy itself by introducing in the scene the chemical complexity parameter and the material’s intermixing idea.
For the interested reader, we have covered our previous publications on the topic of aluminium crossover alloys:

- https://materialsatextremes.wordpress.com/2021/01/01/a-novel-class-of-aluminium-alloys/
We join the worldwide materials science and metallurgy communities in the saga for new materials capable of outperform existing ones. Undoubtedly, the aluminium crossover alloys are one of the greatest manifestation of such desire and effort!
I’d like to say thank you to my friends Professor Pogatscher and Uggowitzer for this work opportunity and to my friend Lukas for everything I have learnt with him along these past three years!
