Innovative Microstructural Design for Advanced Al Alloys (IDEAL)

Roll Royce Controls and Data Services Limited将与Aeromet International PLC和伯明翰大学共同领导一个项目团队，设计、开发和演示测试具有增强高温性能的创新型铝合金复合材料。这些合金的开发将实现近净形设计，降低产品制造成本和能源使用，并延长服务间隔。它还将促进新型、高性能、燃油效率低的质量泵设计，并为飞机发动机核心安装提供未来能力。项目团队拥有丰富的经验、能力和技能，能够优化制造技术、合金成分和高温机械性能，以便在高价值产品市场（即，航空航天）和大批量市场中的长期应用（例如汽车）。这一能力大大增强了项目的影响力和开发潜力

Roll Royce Controls and Data Services Limited will lead a project team with Aeromet International PLC and Birmingham University to design, develop and demonstration test innovative aluminium alloy composites with enhanced high temperature capabilities. The development of these alloys will enable near-net shape design, reduced product manufacturing cost and energy use, and extended service intervals. It will also stimulate novel, high performance, fuel efficient lower mass pump designs and provide future capability for aircraft engine core mounting. The project team has the experience, ability and skills to optimise manufacturing techniques, alloy composition and high temperature mechanical properties for early application in high value product markets (i.e., aerospace) and longer term applications in high volume markets (e.g. automotive). This capability significantly enhances the project’s impact and exploitation potential
