Aluminum Is the New Steel: Scientists from NUST MISIS Made it Stronger Than Ever Before

Aluminum is one of the most promising materials for aeronautics and automobile industry. Scientists from the National University of Science and Technology “MISIS” found a simple and efficient way of strengthening aluminum-based composite materials. Doping aluminum melt with nickel and lanthanum, scientists managed to create a material combining benefits of both composite materials and standard alloys: flexibility, strength, lightness. The article on the research is published in Materials Letters.

New Recycling Technology for Heavy Duty Military Batteries

NUST MISIS scientists together with JSC “Shchelkovo Plant of Secondary Precious Metals” developed an innovative cascade method for purifying silver from spent batteries used in submarines and military aircraft. Secondary use of pure precious metal from one such battery can help saving up to 500 million RUR for creating a new one.
