Crystallographic Methods, Principles, and Data. Third edition. By Charles S. Barrett and T. B. Massalski. (McGraw-Hill Series in Materials Science and Engineering.) Pp. xvii + 654. (London and New ...

Just as a snowflake's intricate structure vanishes when it melts and transforms when it refreezes, the microstructure of metals can change during the 3D printing process, resulting in strengths or ...

The diagram shows a simple model of metallic structure. The metal ions are shown as tiny spheres, packed closely together in a regular pattern.

When a liquid metal cools and turns into a solid, its atoms come together to form crystals. The structure of these crystals is not perfect. Sometimes an extra layer of atoms squeezes between other ...

A model showing how metallic bonds are formed - the first diagram shows the outer electrons in their atoms, and the second diagram shows that the electrons have become delocalised ...

Microstructural analysis of this forged iron structure revealed an extraordinary convergence of properties that resulted in ...

Metal nanoparticles are nanoscale structures composed of metals such as gold, silver, platinum, and copper. These particles typically range in size from 1 to 100 nanometers and exhibit unique physical ...

The study of liquid metals involves understanding their unique ... By analyzing the dynamic structure factor through neutron scattering, researchers identified different modes of atomic motion ...
