Rene 80 superalloy

Some applications do not require a pattern etch but require an overall etch to thin the material or reduce weight in racing cars or even to taper a tall structure such as a yacht mast. These techniques are often applied to aluminum and titanium alloys, stainless steels, and even superalloys such as Rene 41 (Bellows 1977 Dini 1984).

Most engineering alloys contain multiple constituent elements to achieve the desired metallurgical and mechanical properties. Superalloys Rene N6 and CSMX-IOM are composed of as many as twelve or thirteen microalloying elements to enhance their properties at elevated temperatures (Durand-Charre, 1997). These alloying elements are added for specific purposes and...
