- kpil 10y agoI guess you could try to make a composite steel-aluminium material, as the steel has a yield point and will take the load when stretched. But I doubt it will work good for compression.
- ridgeguy 10y agoYou can. Here's one company that does (ceramic) fiber reinforced aluminum. http://specmaterials.com/fra.html http://specmaterials.com/fra.html There's lots of research literature on carbon nanotube reinforced aluminum.
