What is the role of rhenium in single crystal superalloys?
Rhenium plays a critical role in single-crystal superalloys –its addition to first generation alloys improves creep life by a factor of at least two, with further benefits for fatigue performance. Its use in alloys such as PWA1484, CMSX-4 and Rene N5 is now widespread, and many in this community r...
