GROUP | FACILITY | WEBLINK | DESCRIPTION | |
High Temperature Materials Center, Hiroshi Harada (Managing Director) | National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) | [Launch Site] | "In this center, we develop high temperature materials for 1700C ultra-efficient gas turbines with applications in power generation, small but efficient gas turbines for local power systems, next generation jet engines, and in other high temperature systems. These materials include Ni-base single crystal superalloys with new coating systems, as well as alloys with new concepts, e.g., platinum group metals (PGMs)-base refractory superalloys, Cr-base alloys.Also, Ni-Co wrought alloys with the temperature resistanceof 750°C are developed as new generation turbine disk materials. Materials design of empirical and theoretical approaches and microstructure analysis to support the alloy design and developments are also conducted with a major importance. In addition, demonstration tests using an actual gas turbine, improvement of temperature resistance and efficiency of gas turbines and jet engines are being carried out. Also, to demonstrate the benefits of such technology, the effectiveness of CO2 reduction and prevention of global warming are being tested." | |
NRIM Ni-base Superalloy Home Page | National Research Institute for Metals (NRIM) | [Launch Site] | Has a group interested in developing Ni-base superalloys with higher temperature capabilities for aerospace and power industries.  "A newly developed 3rd generation Superalloy, TMS-75, which contains 5wt% Re is easy to do heat treatment, and has stable microstructure with creep strength comparable with or even higher than CMSX-10. TMS-75 is now being evaluated in private companies inside and outside Japan. The modification is also being made by using ADP and CVM toward the 4th generation SC superalloys. Light(density=8.0-8.2) SC superalloys, high Cr SC superalloys and 3rd generation DS superalloy TMD-103 are also designed and tested in our group. Alloy Design Program (ADP) and Cluster Variation Method(CVM) are developed and used in the alloy development. The location of solute atoms witin the structures in the alloys were investigated using atom-probe field ion microscopy (APFIM) and compared with predictions by ADP and CVM." | |
