Description

In terms of content, the Skin Pro project is a continuation of the previous Skin project and focuses on the technological advancement of the manufacturing process of TiAl low pressure turbine blades to production maturity. This includes both the progression of the casting and forging process as well as the optimization of the component allowance along the entire production chain. Furthermore, the development of know-how in process control and material properties plays an important role. In addition, as part of the optimization of the melt recycling process for cycle material in the VIM casting process, it is necessary to develop tailored master alloys to compensate for melt losses.  The overarching goal of technology development is the required verification of microstructural and property conformity along the process chain according to given specifications. Finally, a technol.-econom. consideration of potential production routes for the utilization of the mold technology takes place.
