Description

Advanced refractory alloy components for aerospace and energy sectors. This project aims to employ state-of-the-art alloy modelling and a new additive manufacturing approach to fabricate advanced alloy components with superior high temperature and chemical properties. Components will be manufactured from both existing and completely new alloys. Expected outcomes include stronger and more damage resistant high temperature parts for high-speed aerospace vehicles, and more stable corrosion resistant alloys for application in molten salts. The project expects to increase our sovereign capabilities in advanced alloy component manufacture, for the benefit of sectors including high-velocity aerospace, defence and molten salt-based energy storage and power generation.. Scheme: Linkage Projects. Field: 4016 - Materials Engineering. Lead: Prof Huijun Li
