Researchers develop new metal matrix heat resistant coatings

South Ural State University (SUSU) researchers are developing new compositions and methods for obtaining composite coatings with nonmetal and intermetal high-entropy compounds as part of the New Non-conventional Materials project of the Priority 2030 program

Using additive manufacturing technologies makes it possible to create coatings with a unique composition, which give such material properties as heat resistance, corrosion resistance, ionizing radiation resistance, and the ability to absorb or reflect electromagnetic radiation, notes a press release from the University.

In the last decades, a new technology to produce parts using additive layering of material has been actively developed. This method of synthesizing products is called additive manufacturing and is used to manufacture products from various materials: plastic, metal, concrete, etc. Currently, this technology is widely used to create metallic and nonmetallic prototypes and functional products.
