ORNL/UT study finds bifunctional nanoprecipitates can simultaneously increase strength and ductility of structural alloys

Scientists at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, have found a way to increase simultaneously the strength and ductility of an alloy by introducing tiny precipitates into its matrix and tuning their size and spacing. The precipitates are solids that separate from…
