Purdue University professor Xinghang Zhang (right) and graduate research assistant Anyu Shang prepare to use a 3D printer at the Flex Lab in Discovery Park District at Purdue. Zhang and Haiyan Wang, Purdue’s Basil S. Turner Professor of Engineering, have developed a method to create ultrahigh-strength aluminum alloys that also demonstrate high plastic deformability. Their research has been published in Nature Communications.
