Thesis Title
Multiscale Modelling of Interfaces in Nickel and Cobalt-based Superalloys
Research overview
Superalloys are used in jet engines with operating temperatures approaching the melting temperatures of the materials. The aviation industry wants to operate at even higher temperatures to increase the efficiency of commercial jet engines. This goal requires optimised superalloys to guarantee safe operation in these extreme environments. This project aims to predict the properties of a novel cobalt-based superalloy and study how it compares to established nickel-based superalloys using a multiscale simulations approach. This approach will assess superalloys' thermal stability, incorporating the thermodynamic and kinetic properties of interfaces combining atomic simulations and phase-field models.
