Scientists Create Groundbreaking “Superalloy” That Withstands Extreme Heat

Researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have developed a revolutionary new alloy that could transform high-temperature engineering. Combining chromium, molybdenum, and silicon, the new material demonstrates exceptional resilience to heat, ductility at room temperature, and resistance to oxidation—qualities that may allow it to outperform today’s nickel-based superalloys used in turbines, jet engines, and other advanced technologies.
