The Differences Between Alloys and Composites
On the surface, alloys and composites have at least one big thing in common. Alloy and composite materials are both made up of a mixture of at least two components. Alloys and composites are also similar in that they exhibit different properties than the properties associated with the materials that are used to make them…. Lau ke lahi ange »

Interesting New Research on How to Create Lighter, but Stronger Alloys
For thousands of years now, people have been taking various metals, blending them together, and creating metal mixtures called alloys that have unique properties that make them valuable to human beings. Some example of alloys that have made a big impact on the world include bronze, which is a blend of tin and copper, mo e… Lau ke lahi ange »
Here’s Why There is a Growing Demand for Lithium
Gold, siliva, and copper have historically been considered some of the most precious metals on the planet. But the truth is that lithium is actually one of the most important metals to humans right now. You might not necessarily spend much time thinking about lithium—and you probably wouldn’t ask your significant other to buy you… Lau ke lahi ange »
