  • Abstract
    An environmental comparison is made between two gamma titanium aluminide (γ-TiAl) alloys, Ti–46Al–8Nb and Ti–46Al–8Ta (at.%), and the standard nickel superalloy, INC713LC used for investment cast components in the low pressure (LP) turbine section of aero-engines. Over the complete lifetime, weight reduction by direct replacement could give significant reductions in CO2 emissions, greatly outweighing the impact of other environmental emissions.
