Mainly due to the increasing flexibility of today's society, air traffic is growing all around the globe. Therefore, improving efficiency of civil internal combustion engines is essential in order to save worldwide resources. In gas turbines this can only be achieved by increasing gas inlet temperature. As a consequence, materials employed in high-temperature areas have to meet certain key criteria such as hot-gas corrosion resistance, low thermal expansion, high creep resistance and superior fatigue properties. PLANSEE's high-temperature materials, comply with these requirements.
