Development of Single Crystal Alloys for Specific Engine Applications
نویسنده
چکیده
The wide range of applications within Rolls-Royce engines has led to the policy of developing single crystal alloys with specific targets. This has resulted in a comprehensive family of alloys which meets the requirements of particular engine applications. SRR99 is a high strength alloy to replace DS MM002 in applications where increased creep, tensile and fatigue strength are required. RR2000 has been designed for blades requiring low density or high impact resistance. RR2060 has been developed as a nozzle guide vane alloy, with exceptional resistance to environmental attack and thermal fatigue.
