  • Complex concentrated alloys: materials, methods, and techniques for manufacture
    Patent number: 11499212
    Abstract: Complex concentrated alloys include five or more elements, at least one of which is ruthenium. Example complex concentrated alloys can include nickel and chromium, iron, ruthenium, molybdenum, and/or tungsten. Example complex concentrated alloys have single phase microstructure of face centered cubic (FCC) and can be homogenous. Example complex concentrated alloys can exhibit improved corrosion resistance.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 24, 2018
    Date of Patent: November 15, 2022
    Assignee: QUESTEK INNOVATIONS LLC
    Inventors: Pin Lu, James Saal, Greg Olson
  • Aluminum alloys
    Patent number: 10941473
    Abstract: Aluminum alloys are provided. The alloys can include one or more of zinc, magnesium, copper, zirconium, yttrium, erbium, ytterbium, scandium, silver, and the balance of aluminum and incidental elements and impurities. The alloys can be used for additive manufacturing of various articles, such as aircraft components.
