A team of scientists from Pakistan, Ireland, Saudi Arabia, and South Korea has published a new paper on the usefulness of TiC MXene (titanium carbide MXene) cathodes in proposed lithium-air batteries.

Titanium and its alloys have been intensively investigated in biomedical applications including artificial joints, because of their excellent resistance to corrosion, elastic modulus characteristics, ...

A thin coating of 2-D nanosheets has proved to be the most wear-resistant solid lubricant yet identified, according to researchers who put the titanium carbide–based material through its paces (ACS ...

Large, monolithic titanium aircraft components, such as this jet fighter bulkhead component, frequently have deep pockets and thin walls to reduce weight. The prolific use of complex, monolithic ...

Engineers from UCLA have developed a way to make an aluminum alloy known as AA 7075 so strong that it can be welded without breaking. In a paper published in Nature Communications, the researchers ...

When I was drilling through a hardened steel I went to a specialty metals shop and they recommended cobalt bits. They were also much cheaper than lows but unfortunately have since gone out of business ...
