| Abstract Scope |
There is a long, rich history of using computational tools and methods to support the development and application of critical components in the aerospace industry. This presentation will review the emergence and evolution of these enabling technologies in the areas of casting, forging and heat treatment, and material performance. Important developments related to predicting microstructure evolution and its influence on material properties will also be discussed. Despite the prevalence of these tools, there is still not a seamless workflow connecting the design, manufacturing, lifing, and sustainment of components. Integrated Computational Materials Engineering promised to create these linkages, but more than 20 years after becoming a formal discipline there are still many challenges that must be overcome, some of which will be highlighted here. Nevertheless, there have been numerous successes in using models within industrial practice. One major achievement is the use of models in material definitions, which enables microstructure-and-material-pedigree-specific lifing. |
