Specialists from NUST MISIS have created a new aluminum alloy that will replace analogues: they are labor-intensive and expensive
The authors of the new work proposed to use the structure of a new alloy based on aluminum, and also created a method for the production of wire from it. The material is easy and inexpensive to make, they note.
The main feature of the newalloy—nanoparticles containing zirconium and manganese, they are evenly distributed throughout the aluminum matrix and make up no more than 10% of the total material.
Our material is thermally stablestructure, it can withstand temperatures up to 400 ° C. Any known aluminum alloys experience significant softening already at 250-300 ° C. Our alloy contains copper, manganese and zirconium for a unique combination of electrical conductivity, strength and heat resistance.

According to the researchers, the new alloy is made using an electromagnetic crystallizer using ElmaCast technology. — it was created at the Scientific and Production Center of Magnetic Hydrodynamics.
Scientists are going to improve their development, optimize the chemical composition of the new material and its processing modes.
