Next-generation Alloys for Automobile and Aeronautical Applications

10 Sep 2026 under Focus

Researchers at the Department of Materials Engineering (MatE), IISc and collaborators have developed a new lightweight cast aluminium alloy that is both exceptionally strong and remarkably ductile, overcoming one of the biggest challenges in the structural metallurgy of aluminium alloys. The new alloy exhibits about 400% improvement in ductility and 50% higher strength than conventional […]
