The Latest...Nanostructured metals: light but strong2008-10-03 14:46 GMT
Metallicum Inc., an offshoot of Los Alamos National Laboratory that was recently acquired by Manhattan Scientifics, has figured out a way to manufacture nanostructured metals and alloys—to change the internal structure of virtually any polycrystalline metal so it is much stronger than its conventional counterpart. The process, called Severe Plastic Deformation, creates metals 30 to 100% stronger than conventional grades.
