Materials used for skyscrapers will be improved

2019-12-10

Scientists at the TSU Laboratory of High-Strength Crystals Physics and their colleagues from Japan will study the shape memory effect in steels. This is of practical importance because the steels are used as dampers for skyscrapers. The research results will improve the structure of steel with shape memory and reveal new possibilities of using this material in various areas - from the construction of skyscrapers to the production of parts with high damping properties for cars and air transport.

Yuri Chumlyakov, head of the Laboratory of High-Strength Crystal Physics, returned from a working trip to Japan, the USA, and Taiwan. The laboratory conducts joint research with the scientific teams of these countries, the results of which improve the structure of materials with shape memory and create new alloys.
