Scientists forge new ‘superalloy’ that could revolutionize jet engines and power plants

A newly developed material with exceptional high temperature resistance shows great promise for use in energy-efficient aircraft turbines. Metals that can withstand extremely high temperatures are essential for technologies such as aircraft engines, gas turbines and x-ray equipment. Among the most heat-resistant metals are refractory metals like tungsten, molybdenum and chromium, which melt at 2,000°C or higher. […]
