Overview:

There are significant challenges increasingly being faced by materials engineers for new and improved high temperature alloys to meet the needs of design engineers for the next generation of turbines, exhaust systems, boilers, nuclear waste containers, fuel cells etc. in various industries. Environmental pressures, needs for higher efficiencies, lower costs and ultimately superior performance, drive these requirements. These challenges manifest themselves in terms of both product and process development needs and this program discusses some key trends in materials requirements from the users and the consequent potential solutions to these questions through product and process innovation. The sessions describe the tremendous opportunities for both the end users and materials producers in the high temperature alloys arena to jointly develop new materials which will enable the next generation of technologies in the aerospace, LBGT, transportation and power industries.
