Breakthrough: The alloy is made of 10% gold and 90% platinum, and the wear resistance of the resulting material is 100 times higher than that of high-strength steel. At the same level as diamonds, sapphires and other materials in nature. This alloy is said to be the strongest alloy to date.
Application: It can be used to manufacture new power generation systems, engines and other equipment.
