A research, which was published by the Journal of Alloys and Compounds, suggests that researchers at the National University of Science and Technology collaborated with other Russian experts to develop a low-cost aluminium alloy that can resist temperatures up to 400C, as per the reports of Sputnik.
The material, according to the experts, would drastically lower the weight and carbon footprint of new rail vehicles, aircraft and other technology.
Senior researcher, Torgom Akopyan said that the material has a thermally robust structure that can endure temperatures of up to 400C. Akopyan also stated that their alloy consists of copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), and zirconium (Zr), which provides a unique mix of electrical conductivity, strength and heat resistance, according to Sputnik.
In conditions such as seawater, freshwater, and other chemical solutions, aluminium and aluminium-based alloys are highly corrosion resistant. Aluminium is widely used in aviation, automobiles, electronics, and other industries because of these qualities, and also its low specific gravity and good thermal as well as electrical conductivity.
The material stands apart from its competitors
The structure of a new aluminium-based alloy, as well as the technology for producing wire from it, have been proposed by university researchers. The material stands apart...
