Watch The New Volvo XC60 Prove Its Safe By Surviving Insane Crash Tests

The new Volvo XC60 is loaded with all types of sweet features.

It comes with new driver-assist tech, a myriad of powertrains, and a T8 hybrid with 407 horsepower.

But it also happens to be safe. Like really, really safe…

And to prove it, the Volvo XC60 recently went through a whole slew of crazy crash tests, which the car passed with flying colors.

In fact, the vehicle almost looks pristine after some of the crashes, ready to roll again immediately after.

Best Materials for High-Temperature Aerospace Applications

Every turbine blade, exhaust duct, and fastener in an aircraft engine faces a punishing combination of heat, stress, and corrosive gas. And the high-temperature aerospace materials that survive those conditions aren't interchangeable. If you pick the wrong alloy, the part can distort, crack, or fails mid-flight. Choosing the best materials for high-temperature aerospace applications starts with un
