The development of the aviation industry is impossible without the creation of new materials, and their development becomes much more effective when specialists from different countries are involved in the process.

A striking example of such cooperation is the work of scientists from Russia, Iran, Great Britain and the UAE, who have combined their efforts at the South Ural State University to create an innovative alloy intended for aviation and mechanical engineering.
Senior Researcher, SUSU Majid Naseri noted that the international team managed not only to model, but also to confirm the high wear resistance of an alloy consisting of iron, nickel, chromium, niobium and manganese. Combining these elements and preserving their best properties in one material turned out to be a difficult task. As a result, the optimal ratio of components was determined as follows: iron and nickel make up 65% of the composition, chromium – 15%, manganese – 10%, and the remaining 10% is niobium.
This unique alloy will find application in the aviation and mechanical engineering industries, where materials capable of withstanding aggressive environments and extremely high temperatures are particularly in demand.
Clarifications
Federal State Autonomous educational institution of higher education “South Ural State University (National Research University)” is a state higher education institution in Chelyabinsk, founded in 1943, and today it is the largest institution in the Chelyabinsk region. The structure of the university includes 15 higher schools, institutes and faculties, including the faculty of pre-university training and the faculty of military training, and the university itself has three branches outside of Chelyabinsk – in Zlatoust, Miass, Nizhnevartovsk. Since 2010, the university has the status of a national research university, and since 2021, SUSU has become a participant in the Priority 2030 program, designed to increase the scientific and educational potential of universities and research organizations.
Aviation industry — a branch of industry in which the development, production, testing, repair and disposal of aviation equipment is carried out.
