Making Some of the Worldโs Most Durable Materials Corrosion-Resistant
Borides are among the hardest and most heat-resistant substances on the planet, but their Achillesโ Heel, like so many materialsโ, is that they oxidize at high temperatures. Oxidation is the chemical reaction commonly known as corrosion or rusting โ it can signal the end for a materialโs structural integrity. But researchers from Drexel University, Linkoping
