Description
Niobium silicide-based alloys, in the application of gas turbine blades, promise significant efficiency improvements compared to current Ni-based alloys. However, improvements in mechanical properties and oxidation resistance are needed. This study focuses on the manufacturability aspect of the powder feeding laser additive manufacturing (LAM) process to engineering Nb-Si based alloy samples. The relationship between solidification structure and processing parameters of the LAMed new alloys will be investigated through experimental and modelling approach.
