Overview

• The 'Hyperadaptor' alloy, developed by a POSTECH team led by Prof. Hyoung Seop Kim, maintains consistent strength and ductility across extreme temperatures.
• Its stability is attributed to nanoscale L1₂ precipitates and uniform slip behavior, which reinforce the alloy's structure and performance.
• The alloy addresses the limitations of conventional metals, which typically perform well only within narrow temperature ranges.
• Applications include aerospace engines, automotive exhaust systems, power turbines, and pipelines, where temperature resilience is critical.
• The research, supported by the Ministry of Science and ICT and Hyundai Motor Group, has been published in Materials Research Letters, marking a step toward real-world testing.
