| Scope |
This symposium highlights recent advances in FCC and BCC based superalloy systems having high temperature capabilities beyond current nickel-base superalloys. While advanced Ni-based superalloys remain critical for improving fuel efficiency and durability of aircraft engines and land-based power generation gas turbines, refractory metal-based BCC superalloys are emerging as a new class of ultra-high temperature alloy system for potential applications in a range of extreme-temperature environments, including turbine hot sections, nuclear fusion first wall, Gen-IV fission reactors and hypersonic leading edges and nose cones. We will discuss the latest progress, potential and limitations of these next-generation alloys, while learning from challenges in the use and development of Ni-based superalloys. This symposium will cover topics spanning alloy and microstructural design, thermodynamics, long-term stability, processing, physical properties, mechanical behavior, and environmental resistance. |
