What are the Benefits of Alloying at the Nanoscale?
Alloying at the nanoscale offers several benefits:
Enhanced Mechanical Properties: Nanoscale alloys can exhibit higher strength and hardness due to grain boundary strengthening. Improved Thermal Stability: Alloys can be designed to maintain their properties at higher temperatures, making them suitable for high-temperature applications. Superior Electrical Properties: Enhanced electrical conductivity can be achieved, which is beneficial for nanoelectronics. Corrosion Resistance: Nanoscale alloys can be engineered to resist corrosion better than their bulk counterparts, extending their lifespan in harsh environments.
