Neutron and synchrotron probes in the development of Co–Re-based alloys for next generation gas turbines with an emphasis on the influence of boron additives

In situ neutron and synchrotron measurements (small and wide angle) at high temperatures are accelarating Co–Re alloy development by providing an in depth understanding of the microstructural evolution in these alloys at such temperatures. In addition, advances in analytical tools in electron microscopy have enabled precise determination of the structure and composition of phases in Co–Re alloys.
