Developing new alloys for hydrogen fuel and catalysis SASKATOON – Canadian researchers are using synchrotron light to help develop new alloys with helpful properties. An alloy is a metal that contains two or three different elements. Steel, for instance, is an alloy of iron and carbon that offers increased strength as a building material. By mixing more elements together, scientists hope to create new and improved alloys with increased strength and improved corrosion resistance, which could help many industry sectors to reduce costs. “The trouble is that when you try to make a traditional alloy with more than a couple...
