Study reveals how oxygen is like kryptonite to titanium
Discovery could lead to cost-effective use of cheaper grades of popular material
09-Feb-2015 -
Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, have found the mechanism by which titanium, prized for its high strength-to-weight ratio and natural resistance to corrosion, becomes brittle with just a few extra atoms of oxygen.
The discovery, described in Science, has the potential to open ...
