A superalloy, or high-performance alloy, is an alloy that exhibits excellent mechanical strength at high temperatures. Superalloy development has been driven primarily by the aerospace and power industries. This compilation of papers from the Twelfth International Symposium on Superalloys, held from September 9-13, 2012, offers the most recent technical information on this class of materials.
These papers describe past alloy design experiences and state-of-the-art methodologies and first-principle, neural network, combinational, phase-field, thermodynamic, and regression-based alloy design.
