There is a need to supplement Ni-base superalloys in future gas turbines with turbine entry temperatures > 1500 °C to improve their efficiency. Co-Re alloys are a promising candidate, since they have high melting point > 1700 °C, as well as the required strength. Measurements by means of small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) and neutron diffraction (ND) were an important part of their...

High-temperature materials are essential for energy conversion in turbines, which also includes conversion to kinetic energy for transport. Their continued development is a prerequisite for more efficient use of the available fuel resources. Understanding the basic properties of promising new materials as well as optimization of the existing ones can ensure an environmentally friendly...

Nuclear materials degradation caused by radiation exposure can be experimentally simulated via ion implantation. In our case, German reactor pressure vessel (RPV) steels were studied by positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS). This unique non-destructive method can be effectively applied for the evaluation of microstructural changes and for the analysis of degradation of reactor...
