Abstract

Nanoparticle superalloy Improving the strength of a metal alloy is hard to do without sacrificing the ductility. Yang et al. designed an iron-nickel-cobalt (Fe-Ni-Co) alloy laced with aluminum-titanium (Al-Ti) nanoparticles with both high strength and ductility. The key was getting the composition tuned correctly, because the Fe-Ni-Co matrix reacts with the Al-Ti nanoparticles. This was vital for avoiding environmental embrittlement, enhancing work hardening, and improving ductility. Science , this issue p. 933
