Description
Summary:Next generation fuel-efficient jet engines are running hotter presenting a structural challenge for the exhaust systems and structures adjacent to the engines. A conventional and affordable titanium alloy with superior oxidation resistance provides significant weight reductions and associated cost savings by eliminating the need for high density material systems such as nickel-base superalloys for service temperatures in between current titanium and nickel, enabling major technology advancement in high temperature aerospace applications. This paper presents an overview of Arconic’s engineered material ARCONIC-THOR TM to address the needs of future aerospace systems.
