Exploring the three-dimensional nanoscale space around defects in Ni-based superalloys for aircraft applications employing atom-probe tomography
Category
FP7 Project with U.S. partner
Short name and number
LEAP Tomography (221143)
Area
No theme specific
Description
The research proposed is part of an extensive work aimed at investigating the formation of defects during the solidification of Nickel-based superalloys, where the goal is establishing criteria that enable avoiding their formation. We intend to employ the latest version of the Atom-Probe Tomograph, namely the Local-Electrode Atom-Probe (LEAP), which is the best analytical experimental tool available today for characterizing the chemistry of solid materials in the sub-nanometric scale.
