This symposium will cover all aspects of the development, production, behavior and integration of superalloys, and related high temperature materials, into gas turbines for aircraft, power generation and other applications.

Papers will be presented on cast, wrought and powder superalloys and associated coating systems. Behavioral studies in these areas will also be discussed:

• solidification
• processing
• environmental properties
• mechanical behavior
• alloy development
• life prediction methodologies
• modeling and simulation
• performance of materials in service environments
• high temperature coatings
• joining and repair techniques

Emphasis is placed on the perspective of the customer, e.g., the airlines, military, and power generation utilities.

Papers on current trends in customer requirements, and the latest response of the superalloys community to customer challenges, will be highlighted.
