According to foreign media reports, researchers at the National Laboratory of Albuquerque Sandia, New Mexico, developed a new wear-resistant material consisting of 90% platinum and 10% gold, which is the most wear-resistant metal alloy at present. The strength steel is 100 times more durable and at the same level as the natural diamonds and sapphire. The researchers pointed out that if a car's tire coating is made of this material, it can be ground 500 times around the earth before it wears to the tread.

It is reported that the study was funded by tens of millions of dollars from the US Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration. The test results were published in the journal Advanced Materials in June this year, and scientists published their findings to the media last week.
A key theory behind this new type of platinum alloy comes from the study of the amazing heat resistance of gold by research institutes such as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the University of Toronto.
The researchers theoretically speculate that the toughness of a metal depends on its response to high temperatures, not hardness.
