Japanese researchers were able to rapidly and accurately predict the microstructure of Nickel-Aluminum (Ni-Al) alloys that are commonly used in the design of jet engine turbine parts. Predictions of the microstructure of these alloys have so far been time-consuming and expensive. The findings have the potential to greatly advance the design of materials—made up of a range of different alloys—that are used to make products in several different industry sectors.
