Characterisation of the gamma prime precipitate distribution in an advanced N...
The excellent high temperature properties of Ni-base superalloys are derived from the presence of fine precipitates of the intermetallic Ni3Al phase, termed gamma prime. The... -
Characterisation of residual strains and recrystallisation of single crystal ...
Ni-base single crystal (SX) superalloys are advanced materials that are used in modern land-based gas turbine blades to achieve high operation performance. However localised... -
Residual strain measurements in a monocrystalline nickel-based superalloy tur...
Rafted microstructure has been observed in specific areas of a fully heat-treated blade at the end of the manufacturing process. The solution heat-treated blade is believed to... -
Characterisation of superalloys strengthened by Co3Ti
One method by which the efficiency of gas turbine engines may be improved is by increasing the gas stream temperature on entry to the turbine. Currently this temperature is...
