All types of superalloys are covered, whether single crystalline or polycrystalline, obtained by casting, thermomechanical processing, additive manufacturing or powder processing. Other metallic or intermetallic materials potentially capable of competing or replacing superalloys will be considered as well, provided that their relevance is clearly demonstrated.

All application domains are targeted: aeroengines, oil & gas, industrial gas-turbines, power generation (nuclear, solar, coal-fire, Advanced-UltraSuperCritical power plants), space, automotive, glass industry,… and supply chain considerations would also be welcome.

topics

• Mechanical behaviour and in-service damage including corrosion and oxidation
• Advanced characterization of microstructures and properties
• (Integrated) Computational Materials Engineering, Digital twins for materials and processes
• Repair, refurbishment and recycling
• Materials development: new superalloys and metallic or intermetallic materials beyond superalloys
• All topics cover physical mechanisms and their experimental assessment as well as related modelling approaches
