This alloy—an oxygen-doped blend of niobium, titanium, and zirconium (called "NTZO")—was fabricated using laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF), a technique that applies rapid heating and cooling to ...
Dispersing aluminum oxide in a metal alloy can make it much stronger and more durable. The team started with an existing high-heat alloy—from a category partly trademarked as Kanthal—made of ...
