The aim is to develop a heat resistant steel with a 100 000 hour creep strength of 100 MPa at 650°C. This allows increasing the thermal efficiency of fossil power plants to over 50%, which is 30% higher than the present standard in most existing power plants. The CO2 emissions are reduced accordingly. The consortium combines the expertise of a steelmaker, two utility companies, an engineering cons ...

"The strong need for higher efficiency, reduced CO2 emissions and weight reduction in aircraft engines leads to a demand of innovative light-weight high-temperature resistant materials which can partly substitute the materials currently employed. Presently, Ni-base alloys are used for turbine blades in aero-engines which satisfy the high mechanical and thermal requirements. A disadvantage of Ni-ba ...
