The development of nuclear energy involves the transition to new materials with fundamentally new properties, the creation of which is illogical due to the classical comprehensive approach and does not provide a qualitative transition to a new level, Sergey Salikhov, First Vice-Chancellor of NUST MISIS, told socialbites.ca.
“The main set of material properties is formed primarily during solidification, so the problem can be solved by influencing the growth of the solid phase, which will not only ensure the required material quality, but also ensure that materials with a property gradient are obtained, including internal reinforcement. . It should be noted that the implementation of the solidification control project will reduce the cost of metal products produced by traditional methods by 10-15%.
In addition, this method will reduce the development time of promising products by 10 times and increase the utilization rate of materials by up to 90%, and additive (a method of creating three-dimensional objects, parts or things by adding layers of material) will allow you to switch from “first time” to printing products. will reduce development time by up to 75% and reduce the cost of small-scale production by up to 90%.
