FEAST2 - Weld feasibility heat treatment studies of new superalloys part 2
The project seeks to enhance material processing techniques, contributing to the aerospace industry's efficiency, sustainability, and competitiveness.
FEAST2 is a continuation project aiming to advance the aerospace sector by focusing on the weldability and heat treatment of superalloys G27 and VDM780, addressing the need for materials that perform under extreme conditions, a key focus of the "Integrated structure, material, and production technology" area. The project seeks to enhance material processing techniques, contributing to the aerospace industry's efficiency, sustainability, and competitiveness. The expected benefits include improved component durability and manufacturing cost-effectiveness, targeting aerospace manufacturers as primary users.
GKN Aerospace, in collaboration with University West (UW) and the University of Manitoba (UoM), leads this project. The endeavor is co-funded by VINNOVA and the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), emphasizing international cooperation in research and development.
