A New Aluminum Alloy Is About to Drive the Evolution of Engines
This material withstands extreme heat, resists corrosion, and enhances performance.
Our warming world is in desperate need of energy sources that don’t spew greenhouse gas emissions, and one of the big contenders looking to step into that clean-energy role is hydrogen power. This increased temperature means components of any type of hydrogen combustion engine need to withstand the rigors of such a high-heat environment as well as remain resistant to corrosion due to steam. The research team detailed the attributes of this complex concentrated alloy (CCA), identified as AlCrTiVNi5, in a new paper published earlier this month in the journal Materials Today.
