Journal ArticleDOI
A review of very-high-temperature Nb-silicide-based composites
TL;DR: In this paper, the most recent progress in the development of Nb-silicide-based in-situ composites for very high-temperature applications is reviewed, with emphasis on rupture resistance and oxidation performance.
Journal ArticleDOI
The balance of mechanical and environmental properties of a multielement niobium-niobium silicide-based in situ composite
TL;DR: In this paper, a Niobium-niobium silicide based in situ composite directionally solidified from a Nb-Ti-Hf-Cr-Al-Si alloy is described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bernard Patrick Bewlay,Melvin Robert Jackson,Ji-Cheng Zhao,P. R. Subramanian,M. G. Mendiratta,John J. Lewandowski +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the most recent progress in the development of Nb-silicide-based in situ composites for potential applications in turbine engines with service temperatures of up to 1350°C is reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-temperature refractory metal-intermetallic composites
Melvin Robert Jackson,Bernard Patrick Bewlay,Raymond Grant Rowe,David William Skelly,H. A. Lipsitt +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, toughness, oxidation, and rupture behaviors of present-generation refractory metal-intermetallic composites are compared to the performance requisites necessary to make these materials a competitive choice for the jet engine turbine environment of the future.

Method for making a double-wall airfoil
Melvin Robert Jackson,David William Skelly,Raymond Grant Rowe,Donald George Lachapelle,Paul Stuart Wilson +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, a double-wall airfoil was made by depositing an air-foil skin over an inner support wall which is separately formed and contains channels filled by a channel filling means.
