Stainless steel strengthened: Twisting technique creates submicron 'anti-crash wall'

A combined team of metallurgists, materials scientists and engineers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shandong University and the Georgia Institute of Technology has developed a way to make stainless steel more resistant to metal fatigue. In their study published in the journal Science, the group developed a new twisting technique that functions as an "anti-crash wall" in the steel, giving it much more strength and resistance to cyclic creep.
