Research led by Karl Sieradzki, Fulton Schools professor of materials science and engineering, has shown how new metal alloys can be designed to avoid stress corrosion-induced failure that leads to damage to bridges, power plants, aircraft and other engineered structures. Fellow researchers from ASU and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory participated in the project supported by the U.S. Department of Energy.
