Scientists have long discovered that elements in nature more efficient, working to bring them together in ways that better suit our needs. In recent years, new structures have become visible due to the more frequent use of 3D printers.

University of Massachusetts Amherst and Georgia Institute of Technology A new structure developed by has made significant progress. Because this new alloy is both very efficient and easy to shape, but also very durable.

Major breakthroughs could come in aviation, healthcare, energy and medicine

in the past 15 years high entropy alloys (HEA) It has become quite popular. These structures, which are formed by the combination of five or six different elements in approximately the same amounts, make it possible to create almost infinitely different special alloy structures. Conventional alloys, on the other hand, are formed around a key element.

The structure produced with laser-based 3D printers has a high entropy. Easy to shape This structure has two phases and can be formed quite easily. The researchers indicated that it is not possible to produce large quantities with this method for the time being, but that many potentially untapped characteristics can be revealed.

In this way, scientists have discovered that both easy-to-mould and durable materials, especially Conservation of energy is important considers them to be of great importance. The new alloy is intended to be used primarily in the fields of aerospace, energy, automotive and health.
