Unlocking processability of recycled crossover aluminium alloys

~ Matheus A. Tunes ~ Leave a comment

Aluminum crossover alloys are an emerging class of materials designed to deliver a broad and balanced combination of mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and formability. By blending the characteristics of traditional alloy families - 5xxx and 7xxx series alloys - they open new possibilities for high-performance applications in transportation, energy, and structural components. This versatility also … Continue reading Unlocking processability of recycled crossover aluminium alloys

Revolutionary Findings in Nonferrous Metallurgy for Fusion Technology

~ Matheus A. Tunes ~ Leave a comment

03/20/2025 The [X-MAT] research team from the Chair of Nonferrous Metallurgy, in collaboration with international partners, has made a significant breakthrough in the development of radiation-resistant materials for nuclear fusion reactors. Their latest study, published in Advanced Science (DOI: 10.1002/advs.202417659), challenges conventional high-entropy alloy (HEA) concept by demonstrating that reduced chemical complexity can still achieve … Continue reading Revolutionary Findings in Nonferrous Metallurgy for Fusion Technology

Investigating Hydrogen Embrittlement to Develop Superior Functional Alloys – Prof. Dr. Livia C. Malheiros (UK)

~ Matheus A. Tunes ~ Leave a comment

Hydrogen embrittlement (HE) remains a critical challenge in materials engineering, particularly for industries reliant on high-performance metals, such as energy and transportation. As hydrogen atoms diffuse into metals, they weaken the material’s structural integrity, leading to reduced load-bearing capacity and increased brittleness. A deeper understanding of hydrogen’s interactions with metal lattice structures, defects, and stress … Continue reading Investigating Hydrogen Embrittlement to Develop Superior Functional Alloys – Prof. Dr. Livia C.
