The method successfully reproduced the distinctive crystal structures of both carbon (graphite and diamond) and silicon dioxide (low-quartz, low-cristobalite, and coesite). It worked. However ...
The interstitial alloy between carbon and iron has a complex phase diagram. A compound, Fe 3 C with the fixed composition Fe-6.7 wt % C bounds one end of this diagram and pure iron the other end. Pure ...
Every engineered structure must balance strength against weight. Steel provides exceptional strength through its dense atomic structure but imposes a severe mass penalty. Aluminum reduces weight but ...
