Russian scientists created an entirely new super hard alloy

Recently, Russian scientists announced the successful development of a new generation of super hard alloys that is expected to be used to create mining equipment in the harsh conditions of the Arctic region.

The new alloy was launched in late November at a mine in Russia's Kemerovo region.

Yevgeny Levashov, project manager and a professor from the University of Science and Technology, said in a recent report.

"This is a new technology to produce a new generation of hard alloys with special structures homogeneous with circular tungsten carbide particles and nano cobalt binders , " Levashov said.

According to the scientist, new alloys are created as part of a state program for the development of the Arctic region and they will double the strength and durability of mining equipment.

Earlier, tests in the industrial field of the new alloy were conducted at the end of November at a mine in the Kemerovo region of Russia, where a combined machine handled more than 700 cubic meters of rock at a near depth. 250m.
