I need to create some samples that exhibit alloy depletion in Ni-based superalloys. I've looked all over online and in my ASM Handbooks and can't find any general info on alloy depletion. I'm a metallurgist, so I know in general what it is. But I need more specifics if going to generate my...
I'm trying to prove metallurgically which metal is more brittle during impact - Nickel or Aluminum. I've located some mechanical properties data, and it shows Al has a Elongation % of 50-70 while Ni is only 30%. It lists the Young's Mod of Al at 67 GPa and Ni at 207, which would make Ni a...
I'm looking for a vendor to purchase aluminum source material for a coating process. I'd like the aluminum to be alloyed with another material such as cobalt or chromium, in chunklet form. Any suggestions?
Pertaining to aircraft engine coatings, what are the definitions of inward coating and outward coating? What are the characteristics of each - microstructure/function? How is each formed?
Any information offered on inward vs outward coatings is appreciated.
I'm a young materials engineer working on the development of an aluminide coating process for aircraft engine components using simple CVD. I'm trying to look 10 years ahead and I wonder is the job of a coatings engineer one that can always be employed? Is it so focused that the supply of...
