Improved casting process and efficient design of air-cooling of turbine blades are required for higher inlet temperatures. The aim of the Project is to gain the production processes for nickel-based superalloys with improved high-temperature performance for long-life gas turbine engines and to apply them in turbine engines.

Scope of the project includes; air-cooled turbine blade design, single crystal casting, directional solidification, heat treatment, surface coating and drilling processes for turbine blades.

System Requirements Phase and Process Development activities are continuing. Prototype Manufacturing Phase will start, after completion of these activities.
