Super alloys
Grain boundary
Agrain boundaryis the interface
between twograins, or crystallites, in
a polycrystalline material.
The high interfacial energy and
relatively weak bonding in most grain
boundaries often makes them
preferred sites for the onset of
corrosion and for theprecipitationof
new phases from the solid
Titanium Alloys
Approximately one third the structural weight
of modern turbine engines is made up of
titanium
the maximum elevated temperature
applications is about 540 oC. This
temperature limitation for titanium alloys
mean the hottest parts in the compressor, i.e.
the discs and blades of the last compressor
stages; have to be manufactured from Nibased super alloys at nearly twice the weight.
