Abstract: A nano-structured alloy material includes a nanoparticle; a matrix phase surrounding the nanoparticle; and an alkali/alkali Earth metal to alter (i) a material property of the nanoparticle. (ii) a material property of the matrix phase, and (iii) an interaction of the nanoparticle with the matrix phase.

Abstract: Various embodiments are directed to oxidation- and/or corrosion-resistant nanostructured metallic system and techniques for producing such systems. The metallic system may include (i) a solvent of copper (Cu) metal that comprises 50 to 99.98 atomic percent (at. %) of the metallic system, (ii) a first solute of tantalum (Ta) metal dispersed in the solvent metal, the first solute comprising 0.01 to 50 at. % of the metallic system, (iii) a second solute of an oxidation and/or corrosion resistance-inducing metal dispersed in the solvent metal, the second solute comprising 0.01 to 50 at. % of the metallic system, and optionally (iv) a third solute of an additional metal dispersed in the solvent metal, the third solute comprising 0.01 to 50 at. % of the metallic system, the additional metal being an alkali metal, an alkaline earth metal, or a transition metal that is different from the solvent, first solute, and second solute.

Abstract: Alloys comprised of a refined microstructure, ultrafine or nano scaled, that when reacted with water or any liquid containing water will spontaneously and rapidly produce hydrogen at ambient or elevated temperature are described. These metals, termed here as aluminum based nanogalvanic alloys will have applications that include but are not limited to energy generation on demand. The alloys may be composed of primarily aluminum and other metals e.g. tin bismuth, indium, gallium, lead, etc. and/or carbon, and mixtures and alloys thereof. The alloys may be processed by ball milling for the purpose of synthesizing powder feed stocks, in which each powder particle will have the above mentioned characteristics. These powders can be used in their inherent form or consolidated using commercially available techniques for the purpose of manufacturing useful functional components.
