Aluminum quickly is becoming the new metal of choice. Because of its lightweight, durability and corrosion-resistant properties, aluminum has secured its place as an essential material in the modern ...

Pure aluminum (Al) is generally considered corrosion-resistant due to the protective nature of the spontaneously forming aluminum oxide passive film. This film acts as a wide bandgap insulator and ...

A recent article published in npj Materials Degradation explored the defining role of nanoscale heterogeneities in corrosion pathways in a high-strength aluminum alloy via detailed electron microscopy ...

Military hardware operates under conditions that commercial engineering rarely encounters simultaneously: extreme mechanical ...

A closer look at one of the safest aircraft models in the industry today.

Guy Keulemans receives funding from the Australian Research Council. Aluminium is light and versatile, but massively energy-intensive to produce, requiring 10% of Australia’s entire electricity output ...
