iron-aluminum for metallurgy enthusiasts

[SLAG]

I just came across a 2015 article describing a new development, in iron-aluminum alloys that are just as strong and as light as titanium alloys. The new discovery is a method to make such alloys non brittle. The new process is brilliant and should allow metallurgists to formulate even better alloys in the near future. Titanium is extremely abundant but is notoriously difficult to purify and hard to work. Therefor, it is expensive. Try this reference.

And enjoy.
