Expanding the limits of single crystal superalloys through short crack fracture mechanics analysis

Objective

Advanced alloys such as single crystal super alloys are now widely used in Industrial Gas Turbines and Aero-Engines. However, due to a lack of knowledge in the understanding of failure mechanisms, it is not possible, at the moment, to take full advantage of the high temperature capability of these materials without loss of safety . Previous research programmes have contributed to develop single crystals' knowledge and analytical/numerical tools, useful for the design improvement of turbo-machinery blade components. These tools are already of a great help to industrial practices but there are practical situations where they must be supplemented by taking into account more explicitly the crack propagation. The objective of the programme will be to complete the knowledge and the analytical/numerical tools in the field of short crack propagation and fracture analysis of single crystals for turbine blades and vanes .

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Call for proposal

Procedure for inviting applicants to submit project proposals, with the aim of receiving EU funding.
