| Abstract Scope |
Aircraft engines are a demanding application for any material. Significant progress in Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) in the past couple of decades along with its focused application is driving rapid discovery, development and deployment of materials and process solutions in the aero-engines industry. This paper will present how Pratt & Whitney is using a holistic approach toward design and manufacturing by incorporating ICME principles. Conventional processing techniques like forging, casting and machining along with upcoming techniques like Additive Manufacturing (AM) are being simulated using a combination of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) tools and internal codes. These are being integrated with physics-based and machine learning based material models, as applicable, to predict microstructural features and mechanical properties. Model-based-material-definitions (MBMD) are being enabled by this integration providing location-specific properties and a concurrent product and process design approach. Examples of this approach and its application for aero-engines component manufacturing will be shared. |
