…CCS, and geopolitical resiliency. Hence this 15-page report explores nickel-niobium super-alloys’ role in energy transition. $499.00 – Purchase Checkout Added to cart Super-alloys are blends of metals, with crystal structures that confer…
…input for high-grade alloys and super-alloys, as nickel producers are instead captured here. Or producers of high-grade steels or gas turbines. Materials properties of super-alloys are tabulated here. The screen…
Super-alloys have exceptionally high strength and temperature resistance. They help to enable 6GTpa of decarbonization, across efficient gas turbines, jet engines (whether fueled by oil, hydrogen or e-fuels), vehicle parts,…
This data-file aggregates information into the strength, temperature resistance, rigidity, costs and CO2 intensities of important structural metals and materials. It shows why nickel-based super-alloys are used in gas turbines…
…For example, via the temperature resiliency of cutting-edge super-alloys. And this is a key reason why gas turbines tend to flow excess air as coolant or re-circulate exhaust gases. To…

…carbon fiber, additive manufacturing, advanced metals) and raising the T-max of Brayton Cycle turbines (including via super-alloys). Helpful underlying data come from the US Bureau of Transport Statistics, to compute…
…is near the melting point of iron/iron ore. What materials could serve as current collectors for these cells? Most conductive metals, and even most super-alloys, have melted by 1,500C. There…
Global steel supply-demand runs at 2GTpa in 2023, having doubled since 2003. Our best estimate is that steel demand rises another 80%, to 3.6GTpa by 2050, including due to the…
