| Often materials become brittle at low temperatures. A new alloy of chromium, cobalt, and nickel, however, has not only a very high fracture toughness (5 times as tough as the best steels) but keeps the qualities at temperatures as low as 20 kelvin, making it potentially useful for cryogenic applications. related: #tough #alloy #low_temperature |
