Development of Superalloys Metallic Thermal Protection Systems

D. S. Shih, The Boeing Company, St. Louis, MO; E. T. McDevitt, Allegheny Technologies Incorporated (ATI), Monroe, NC; B. Baker, Special Metals Corporation, Huntington, WV

This presentation will update and discuss the recent development progress in the Metals Affordability Initiative project, "Superalloys-based Thermal Protection Systems."  In this program, thin foil (0.002-0.007-inch thickness gauge) of the Allvac 718Plus, Inconel 617, and Haynes 282 alloys will be produced.  Mechanical properties at room and elevated temperatures will be evaluated and an analysis methodology will be developed for the use of advanced hypersonic.

Summary: This presentation will update and discuss the recent development progress in the Metals Affordability Initiative project, "Superalloys-based Thermal Protection Systems."
