Mechanical properties of metals at ambient temperatures may be improved using various heat-treatment procedures, which have been established for many years. The concept of improving steel tensile and ...

Cryogenic treatment is a thermal process in which the material is subjected to cryogenic temperatures below -153 degrees C. A new line of research is endeavoring to produce more efficient steels by ...

When people think of cryogenics, their minds go toward the various medical procedures that use extreme cold, such as those used for cancer treatments or wart removals. However, these aren't the only ...

The pressure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions continues apace as does the search for ‘greener energy solutions’ and one of the consequences of this is significant growth in the use of Liquid Natural ...

A team at Tohoku University have perfected a new heat treatment technique with rapid heating and asymmetrical cooling processes in metallic glass. This technique enabled the team to induce a gradient ...

To this end, Professor Peng Hailin’s team from Peking University, Tsinghua, and HKU used a cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) technique to literally freeze the chemical process mid-action ...
