Benefits of technology

This new type of material called AlSiMg solves problems such as poor quality control caused by nonuniformity in its crystal structures due to impurities that may have been introduced into it beforehand when manufacturing products made from this material. By modifying certain elements within the composition through nanoparticles, we aimed at improving these properties without affecting their original purpose for use. Additionally, our researchers found that adding specific types of particles could also help prevent cracks on some parts of an ingot produced after being melted out. Overall, they discovered ways to make stronger alloys while reducing energy usage and increasing productivity.

Problems solved by technology

This patented describes an issue where there are increasing demands placed upon modern aircraft's airplanes that require improved durability and reliance during flight operations due to environmental concerns associated with fuel consumption or pollution caused by exhaust gases from engines burning fossil fuels. There exists a challenge related to achieving better balance between weight reduction while maintaining superior physical/mechanic property qualities like tensile elongations at breakage levels. Current methods involve adding more expensive metals into these types of material systems which may lead them to poorly distributed areas within the structure leading to reduced overall productivity. Therefore, it becomes necessary to develop techniques capable of promoting greater homogeneity of fine structures throughout cast alkaline metal alloys without requiring excessive addition costs.
