Nano-sized diamond will improve materials for maritime transport
An experiment on the introduction of nanoscale diamond into an aluminum melt using ultrasonic treatment at the Brunel University (London, United Kingdom) has been completed. The result will be used to create new materials, mainly for maritime transport. The experiment was conducted at the Brunel Center for Advanced Solidification Technology (BCAST) under the guidance of Dmitry Eskin, Professor at TSU and Brunel University London.
No one had previously synthesized alloys with nanodiamonds; for this, larger particles or graphite were taken. Scientists at TSU view diamond as a promising material for the production of hardened alloys, although other nanoparticles are also used.
