| Abstract | This project will assess the technical feasibility of using Additive Manufacturing to make high-temperature air- cooled nickel superalloy radial turbine componentry for automotive applications. This is expected to enable turbine operating temperatures of ~1050C, enabling more extreme downsizing of engines, removing the need for integrated cooled exhaust manifolds and leaving more thermal energy for waste heat recovery post- turbine. The project partners are HiETA Technologies Ltd and the University of Bath's Powertrain and Vehicle Research Centre (PVRC) and Turbomachinery Research Group (TRG). | |
