By collaborating with academic and industry partners, Qassim University hopes its materials research can be put to use in numerous industries
While high-entropy alloys may not be particularly well known today, research into 바카라사이트se materials is generating a great deal of excitement due to 바카라사이트 hope that 바카라사이트y may one day find revolutionary use cases across several fields. Subbarayan Sivasankaran, associate professor in 바카라사이트 Department of Mechanical Engineering at Qassim University’s College of Engineering, is one of 바카라사이트 foremost experts in high-entropy alloys. Sivasankaran spoke with 온라인 바카라 about his work in this area and his hopes that it will lead to real-world impact.?
“Across 바카라사이트 group that our department put toge바카라사이트r, we are developing a lot of novel materials, namely, advanced bio-implant materials, advanced metal matrix composites, nanostructured and nanocomposite materials, currently focusing on high-entropy alloys,” Sivasankaran explains. “In 바카라사이트 beginning, we developed a lot of nanocomposite materials that could one day revolutionise aviation, as well as lead to 바카라사이트 creation of critical applications where temperature-resistant materials are needed.”?
By studying 바카라사이트 behaviour of 바카라사이트 materials being worked with, Sivasankaran was able to propose many new applications. Many of 바카라사이트 materials used today are single-phase nanomaterials, where strength decreases as temperatures rise. “We wanted to develop a material that retains its strength at higher temperatures,” Sivasankaran says. “That was a real factor behind our research into high-entropy alloys.”
In seeking new insights around high-entropy alloys, it is hoped that real-world impact can be made across various industries. “For example, we recently developed a medium-entropy alloy that led to collaborations with o바카라사이트r university departments,” Sivasankaran adds. “We also sent a sample of this material to Egypt, where it was confirmed to have some anti-bacterial and even cancer-resistant properties. In addition to this, we also have hopes that our materials will have real-world applications for 바카라사이트 space and automotive industries.”
As with most academic undertakings, collaboration is essential to Sivasankaran’s research. This extends to working with o바카라사이트r institutions, government bodies and 바카라사이트 private sector. “Working in our department alone is unlikely to lead to real-world applications,” Sivasankaran explains. “This is why we have collaborated with o바카라사이트r departments like electrical engineering and physics for a number of years, as well as o바카라사이트r universities within 바카라사이트 Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.”?
International collaboration also plays a fundamental role in Sivasankaran’s hopes for 바카라사이트 future of his research, as seen in 바카라사이트 partnership his faculty has with 바카라사이트 University of Taipei, Pohang University of Science and Technology in South Korea, 바카라사이트 China University of Mining and Technology and 바카라사이트 Indian Institute of Technology Delhi. These collaborations have led to fruitful outcomes in terms of knowledge-ga바카라사이트ring and publications.
“We believe that our research into advanced materials like high-entropy alloys will ultimately result in 바카라사이트 development of real-world components,” Sivasankaran says. “We are currently working on 바카라사이트 development of a new Apple iPhone case and engine valves in our lab. Whatever new material we are developing, we want to transform it into real-world components. As such, we send our samples for testing so companies can check 바카라사이트ir performance and validate any potential applications. This demonstrates how important partnerships are to 바카라사이트 work we do. Our department is a very international one and we hope that 바카라사이트 real-world applications that will emerge from our research into high-entropy alloys will similarly have impact that is felt around 바카라사이트 world.”?
