Abstract

Four groups of materials, which are being considered in view of their potential applications in the aerospace field, are presented. Refractory metal, oxide dispersion strengthened and intermetallic alloys are good candidates for replacing nickel-based superalloys, mainly to increase the gas turbine operating temperatures. The main critical issues for each class of materials and relevant remediation strategies are discussed. Shape memory alloys are the fourth class of materials considered herewith: they are fundamental for the development of structures, exploiting the functional properties of these alloys, and that would otherwise require complex design and more numerous components. This design simplification has several interesting aspects, including increased reliability and weight reduction, as several satellite and spacecraft applications of shape memory alloys have proved already in a number of practical solutions for strategic devices in aerospace applications.
