A newly published study from MIT details how certain crystal boundaries can enhance, or reduce, the damaging effects that lead to metal embrittlement. When a metal tube lines an oil well thousands of feet below the surface of the ocean, that metal had better be solid and reliable. Unfortunately, the environment in such deep wells […]
