MIT Develops 3D-Printable Aluminum Alloy That’s Up to Five Times Stronger Than Conventional Metals

67

MIT researchers have developed a 3D-printable aluminum alloy that is five times stronger than conventional cast aluminum. Created using machine learning and rapid 3D-printing techniques, the metal remains stable at high temperatures. The breakthrough could replace heavier and costlier materials in aircraft engines, vehicles, and advanced industrial systems.MIT researchers have developed a 3D-printable aluminum alloy that is five times stronger than conventional cast aluminum.
