Sometimes, in creating an alloy out of multiple metals, defects and structural instability can occur in the material. Now, researchers at the University of Pittsburgh Swanson School of Engineering are harnessing those imperfections to make the material stronger while retaining its flexibility.
The investigators are designing metastable alloys that can overcome the well-known trade off between strength and ductility, revealing
