High Temperature Alloys and Composites

High temperature alloys and composites are used for critical components in a wide range of industries such as power generation, gas turbine and chemical processing. This research area encompasses both the manufacturing and processing of high temperature alloys and components, and drives innovation on the material, energy and processes side. High temperature materials are heat resistant steels, austenitic superalloys, refractory metals, ceramics and ceramic composites, metal-matrix composites and graphitic composites.
