Dual-micro structure heat treatment: dual-microstructure rotating turbine disks for aircraft engines have become a reality, and a cost-effective method to produce such disks has been developed and demonstrated.
Advanced Materials & Processes, July, 2003 by Gayda, John
Rotating disks for aircraft engines and land-based turbines must withstand higher operating temperatures and demonstrate longer service life than ever before, while also minimizing costs. One design and processing approach is to develop disk components with distinctly different microstructures optimized for required mechanical properties at various regions within the disks.
