Plastic and low-cost axial zero thermal expansion alloy by a natural dual-phase composite

Zero thermal expansion alloys have unique dimensional stability but suffer from inherent brittleness and compositional sensitivity. Here the authors present the one-step eutectic reaction approach to produce a dual-phase alloy with an axial zero expansion and promising mechanical properties.
