Abstract
The production processes used in the preparation of superalloys for the highest temperature components of jet engines have in most respects been ahead of those used for other materials. This section on fabrication is derived largely from the technology of superalloy component manufacture. Much of the technology is transferrable to other materials and it seems likely that over the next decade much R and D in industry will be devoted to doing just that. Not everything is readily adapted. For example titanium is chemically extremely reactive and would pick up impurities from any crucible material. Both titanium and aluminium form impermeable oxide films making sintering of powder a very difficult process. Alloys currently favoured for HT Petrochemical processes are not readily formed either “cold or hot”. Nevertheless for all these and other HTMs there are some aspects of superalloy production which are being or could be adopted with benefit.
Conclusions and references for Sections 3.1.1. and 3.1.2. are included after Section 3.1.2.
