New composite material raises service temperature by 150°C, boosts strength.
The scientists made strong and tough materials by combining titanium and boron in layers. They found that increasing the thickness of the boron layers improved the strength and toughness of the final material. The new material was much stronger and tougher than regular titanium alloys. It could also be used at higher temperatures without losing its strength. The researchers believe that the addition of boron layers helped make the material stronger and tougher.
