Development and validation of a powder HIP route for high temperature Astroloy to manufacture Ultrafan® IP Turbine Casings

Project: Research

Description

HUS is a project funded by Clean Sky Joint Undertaking 2 - Horizon 2020 Programme. This project deals with manufacturing IP Turbine casings for the new generation Ultrafan® engine from Astroloy using Net Shape Hot Isostatic Pressing of powder (NSHIP). Astroloy with high γ’ volume fraction have the required high temperature properties but it is unforgeable. Thus, Powder-HIP is the most promising process route for this alloy, though this technique presents several challenges, such as the presence of PPBs in the HIPped microstructure, the high cost of powder and HIP-tooling. HUC, making usage of the background technology, will face and overcome these challenges and will take a step further in tackling technology gaps alongside the material capability, basic mechanical behaviour and impact in the presence of the exposure with the ultimate goal for this technology to be fully tested in the relevant UltraFan® Demonstrator engine environment.
