An international team of researchers has created a high-strength and chemically resistant alloy that effectively protects spacecraft, automobiles, and nuclear power plant equipment from corrosion. Boron was used for the first time in this alloy to improve its characteristics.
Intermetallic compounds have a number of useful properties, such as high hardness, corrosion resistance, and so on, but their widespread industrial application is hampered by a key disadvantage - high brittleness. An international group of scientists, including employees of the South Ural State University, proposed an original solution to this problem - a new composition of anti-corrosion coating for metal products.
Scientists from SUSU have for the first time used targeted microalloying of a multicomponent intermetallic compound with boron to reduce its brittleness and increase plasticity. As a result of experiments, it was found that the metal became less brittle and more plastic, which indicates a significant improvement in its mechanical properties.
The new alloy has the potential for producing coatings that are highly durable and chemically resistant. These coatings are resistant to corrosion at high temperatures and exposure to electrolytes. Their application is possible in the aerospace industry, automotive industry, and energy sector, including thermal and nuclear power plants.
