Architected Structural Alloys And Composites
Deliberate control of multi-element composition and internal microstructure (spinodal, fibre, nanotube-reinforced or bio-templated architectures) yields bulk materials combining strength, toughness, conductivity and dimensional stability under extreme temperatures.

Researchers led by City University of Hong Kong report in Nature Materials a titanium alloy made by laser powder bed fusion that achieves roughly 1.5 GPa yield strength and over 1.7 GPa tensile strength while retaining about 7.5% uniform elongation. Strength comes from sub-10-nanometre alternating stacking-sequence bands formed inside martensitic laths during printing.
