Funded Activity Summary

Structure-property relationships of next generation aero-engine materials. We aim to design a novel manufacturing process for superalloy aero-engine parts with superior mechanical properties. This is significant because optimisation of the hot-forging route of the most commonly used Alloy 718 will enable targeted control of its nanoscale precipitate microstructure leading to substantial increases in the high-temperature strength. The expected scientific outcomes are new physical metallurgy knowledge of the microstructure-property relationships of superalloys. The expected technological and societal outcomes include enhanced aero-engine material performance, creating benefits such as shorter flights over longer distances, and safer, more fuel-efficient air travel.
