| Description | Our modern highly industrialized society increasingly requires new structural materials for high-temperature applications in automotive and energy-producing industrial sectors. These new materials will allow (i) for higher operational temperatures in energy-conversion units, and, consequently, (ii) for a higher efficiency, resulting in significant energy savings and lower emissions. Such major advancements will not be possible without a deeper fundamental understanding of structure-property relations spanning from atomistic to microstructural levels. Fe-Al-based superalloys represent a very promising class of materials which can potentially replace expensive Ni-based superalloys used as materials for, e.g. turbine blades in aircraft engines operating at high-temperatures and under high-pressures. To design new Fe-Al-based alloys, a challenging materials-design approach should be adopted to identify suitable combinations of alloying elements. |
