UWM Researcher Creates Smart Nanocoatings that Fortify Materials

Put steel under a powerful microscope, revealing its microstructure, and prepare to be surprised. Known for its strength, the metal will appear pitted and pocked."It is intrinsic to the material," says Carolyn Aita, a Wisconsin Distinguished Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM). "A pit can begin to develop from a physiochemical defect in the steel itself."
