Russian scientists have developed new heat-resistant and durable alloys for aircraft engines. In modern engines, gas can heat up to 1650 degrees Celsius; most metals cannot withstand such temperatures.
Experts created combinations of four refractory metals - niobium, chromium, titanium and zirconium - and compared their combinations with each other. The highest indicator was found in an alloy of Niobium and chromium - three times stronger than others. This alloy is expected to be used in the production of next-generation engines for the aircraft industries.
