The Aerospace Engineering Podcast Highlights Single-Crystal Superalloys for Jet Engine Turbines

AnalySwift is pleased to be partnering with the Aerospace Engineering Podcast, where Rainer Groh highlights exciting developments in aerospace engineering. More than 15,000 people visited the Aerospace Engineering Blog each month to learn something new about aerospace engineering. The most recent episode, sponsored by AnalySwift, is on research being done at University of Birmingham, UK on single-crystal superalloys.

The research expertise lies in investment casting of aerospace metals, especially of high-temperature superalloys used in the hot turbine stages of modern jet engines. Despite phenomenal advances in materials technology, a number of questions with regard to how the turbine blade shape, materials and process parameters interact remain unanswered, and these questions form the basis of ongoing research.
