Magnesium has a number of potential advantages when it comes to engineering. It is considered the easiest of structural metals (those that are able to carry the load -bearing loads) and it is also the eighth of the most common element in the earth’s crust. Nevertheless, magnesium is not as durable and durable as many of his “colleagues”. Nevertheless, the University of California in Los Angeles offers to overcome all the restrictions of magnesium due to nanoparticles of silicon carbide. Scientists managed to create a composite metal that can lead to legged and effective planes, spacecraft and cars.
The new metal composite consists of about 14% of silicon carbide nanoparticles and 86% magnesium. When testing new material, scientists found that he demonstrates record levels of specific strength and the ratio of rigidity to weight. He also showed legal stability at high temperatures.
