Superalloys are unique high-temperature materials used in gas
turbine engines, which display excellent resistance to mechanical
and chemical degradation. This book presents the underlying
metallurgical principles which have guided their development and
practical aspects of component design and fabrication from an
engineering standpoint. The topics of alloy design, process
development, component engineering, lifetime estimation and
materials behaviour are described, with emphasis on critical
components such as turbine blading and discs. The first
introductory text on this class of materials, it will provide a
strong grounding for those studying physical metallurgy at the
advanced level, as well as practising engineers. Included at the
end of each chapter are exercises designed to test the reader's
understanding of the underlying principles presented. Solutions for
instructors and additional resources are available at
