“Metallurgy offers a sea of opportunities to improve the performance and durability of components.”
The Special Materials and Processes team develops new materials, technologies and processes to improve the #durability of components by working to improve the properties linked to #thermal fatigue, #corrosion and #wear. #High entropy alloys, #superalloys and #special steels are some of its main lines of work.
