Ship building without new heavy metal

US scientists have successfully synthesized a new super-stable and ultra-light alloy that even floats on the water, opening up the possibility of making ships and ships never sink.

New metal material is lighter than water

The new material is the result of research by scientists at New York University and the American School of Deep Springs Technology. They gave silicon carbide, a compound of silicon and carbon, into magnesium alloys at a density of 0.92 grams per cubic centimeter.

Not only lightweight and durable, the new alloy also has high heat resistance. It promises to bring about a new change for the global automobile industry. The new alloy's weight is lighter than water, which is highly durable enough to withstand severe operating conditions at sea.

In recent years, scientists around the world have concentrated their resources on creating super-light, super-durable compounds to replace heavy-metal devices on ships and cells. bowl. Over the next three years, the United States will complete the fabrication process and launch a new alloy test.

The US military is expected to benefit from this. Typically the UHAC amphibious vehicle of the US Marines, performance will improve with the use of light alloys, the researchers said.
