Study reveals how oxygen is like kryptonite to titanium
Berkeley CA (SPX) Feb 06, 2015 - Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, have found the mechanism by which titanium, prized for its high strength-to-weight ratio and natural resistance to corrosion, becomes brittle with just a few extra atoms of oxygen. The discovery, described in the journal Science, has the potential to open the door to more practical, cost-effective uses of titanium in a broader range of ... more
