US captain Star Shield high hardness of metal material came to reality!

When people are still lamenting the United States captain has the "universe the hardest" star shield, Wolverine's bone was injected into the Edelman alloy has become extremely hard. You may have thought that these comic book in the high hardness of metal materials, one day will come into our real life. Recently, the US engineers successfully developed a breakthrough in the ability of new steel - amorphous alloy steel, greatly improving the future of the battlefield on the level of offensive and defensive weapons.
Compared to traditional rigid materials, this new alloy steel offers many advantages. It is cost-effective, exceptionally hard and not breakable. It has the best record of the elastic limit of alloy steel and can withstand pressures up to 12.5 GPa. Resulting in permanent deformation. In contrast, the elastic limit of stainless steel is 0.2 gpa, military armor is 4.5 gpa tungsten steel, diamond elastic limit of up to 60 gpa, but expensive and not practical, amorphous alloy steel has gradually become a scientist Concerned about the new materials.
The findings will play an important role in aerospace, military weapons, carbide precision machinery parts and the automotive industry, medical and sports equipment and other aspects play a huge role. Especially in the field of military weapons, amorphous alloy steel is one of the armor piercing core material of choice. At the same time, the use of large pieces of amorphous alloy steel can also be a high hardness characteristics of armor-piercing protective materials, such as armor, bulletproof vest, satellite meteorite protective cover. US researchers said that future research will focus on increasing the weight of alloy steel to further enhance its compression capacity.
