Researchers from the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) and Lehigh University have developed a nanostructured copper alloy that could redefine high-temperature materials for aerospace ...

The Cu-3Ta-0.5Li nanocrystalline alloy exhibits resistance to coarsening and creep deformation, even at temperatures near its melting point. The orange-colored features represent copper matrix atoms, ...

Colorized scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) image showing a Cu3Li precipitate in the Cu-Ta-Li alloy. The orange-colored features are primarily Cu atoms in the alloy matrix, while ...

In a first, researchers have developed a new copper alloy that's one of the most resilient copper-based materials ever made. The new alloy, a mixture of copper, tantalum and lithium, was built on ...

Researchers from the US Army Research Laboratory (ARL) and Lehigh University have developed a groundbreaking nanostructured copper alloy said to boast exceptional thermal stability and mechanical ...

A new study designed a copper-tantalum-based superalloy (with ... up to 800 degrees Celsius (1472 degrees Fahrenheit). “Our alloy design approach mimics the strengthening mechanisms found ...
