High temperature failure processes in Ni base superalloys

Project overview

We are focussing on the role of environment and temperature on the fatigue failure mechanisms in Ni based turbine disc and blade alloys, comparing polycrystalline, single crystal and additively manufactured systems. We have a particular focus on understanding the micromechanisms of failure and how this links to key microstructural features and local processes
