Innovative Microstructural Design for Advanced Al Alloys (IDEAL)

劳斯莱斯控制和数据服务有限公司将与Aeromet国际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能力的创新铝合金复合材料。这些合金的开发将实现近净形状设计，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、节油、低质量泵的设计，并为未来的飞机发动机核心安装提供能力。项目团队拥有优化制造技术、合金成分和高温机械性能的经验、能力和技能，可用于高价值产品市场（如航空航天）的早期应用和大批量市场（如汽车）的长期应用。这种能力显著地增强了项目的影响和开发潜力

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
