A team of Russian scientists has created a composite material capable of maintaining high strength and ductility in severe frosts.
Specialists from the Russian Technical University and Chinese researchers have studied how composite materials are destroyed at temperatures below minus 150 degrees Celsius (cryogenic temperatures) and set themselves the task of creating new composites capable of retaining their mechanical properties in such extreme conditions.
The head of the university’s physics department, Ivan Ushakov, said: “The new material does not break into several parts upon impact, and this behavior is related to transient processes, especially at the boundaries of alloys crystalline and amorphous metals. »
Ushakov noted that such multilayer composite materials can be used to make components of machines and structures that will operate at low temperatures in astronautics, the cryogenic industry and in polar latitudes.
In the future, scientists plan to improve the manufacturing technology of these composite materials and also improve their composition to increase mechanical strength at cryogenic temperatures and radiation resistance.
