Metal that withstands ultra-high temperature and pressure identified

Science Daily  September 27, 2018
Researchers in Japan analyzed the ultrahigh-temperature tensile creep behaviour of a TiC-reinforced Mo-Si-B-based alloy in the range of 1400–1600 °C at constant true stress range in vacuum. It displayed excellent creep strength with relatively reasonable creep parameters and moderate strain-rate oscillations. The findings have applications in aircraft jet engines and gas turbines for electric power generation…read more. Open Access TECHNICAL ARTICLE
