The University of Alberta's engineering research team has discovered a groundbreaking material, AlCrTiVNi5, to be used as a coating for high-temperature applications, specifically in hydrogen combustion engines. This complex concentrated alloy demonstrates remarkable thermomechanical properties, including stability, low expansion, and a unique combination of strength and ductility. The research, led by project supervisor Jing Liu, aims to address the challenges of utilizing hydrogen as a clean energy source due to its high combustion temperature. The new alloy has shown exceptional resilience in withstanding extreme heat and corrosive conditions, outperforming existing commercially available coatings in rigorous tests. Although further research is needed for widespread adoption, the potential of AlCrTiVNi5 in advancing Canada's hydrogen economy is significant. The study's publication in Materials Today marks a crucial milestone in enhancing energy sustainability and emissions reduction efforts.
