Boston MA (SPX) May 23, 2024 - Metals get softer when they are heated, which is how blacksmiths can form iron into complex shapes by heating it red hot. And anyone who compares a copper wire with a steel coat hanger will quickly
Scientists have discovered that when metal is struck by an object moving at a super high velocity, the heat makes the metal stronger. The finding could lead to new approaches to designing materials for extreme environments, such as shields that protect spacecraft or equipment for high-speed manufacturing.

Pelting metals under high temperatures has revealed that some get even stronger when heated, which could help us choose better materials for making helicopters and planes
