Title: Advanced high-temperature alloys: Processing and properties; Proceedings of the Nicholas J. Grant Symposium, MIT, Cambridge, MA, June 16-18, 1985

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6326525

Historical and advanced methods of producing, forming and polishing alloys in billets and net shapes are explored. Attention is given to the deficiencies in arc furnace melts and to the benefits which are accruing from rapid solidification processing, powder metallurgy and superplastic forming. The techniques employed in these methods for processing materials to desired shapes, mainly for aircraft gas turbine engines, are described, along with the microstructures and mechanical properties which are obtained. The state of the art in casting and forming techniques which yield the most favorable properties in intermetallic compound-based alloys, superalloys, glasses and metacrystals are identified. Finally, research directions being pursued to obtain higher purity, enhanced temperature, longer lifetime, damage resistant alloys which can be formed to net shapes are discussed.
