Comment on World-First 'Super Alloy' Could Transform the Way Metals Are Madeparent

Comments

I think that’s right, yes… from TFA:

It's two times stronger than steel, three times stronger than aluminum, and twice as strong as the same alloy made in a conventional way.

The source paper in Science, fwiw:

And as a personal exercise in intellectual humility, I cast my eyes over the supplementary materials (as those are free-to-the-public)… I’d recommend it:

https://www.science.org/doi/suppl/10.1126/science.aec4995/su...

I get a huge thrill out of looking at serious work outside my expertise. When I’m tempted to imagine the proposition is as simple as it seems from the headline (or the article, or the editor’s note, or the abstract), it excites me to remember just how deeply and carefully and thoroughly people think through things I barely understand.
