Abstract

In recognition of the advantages to be obtained through the use of the gas turbine in aircraft power plants, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics started to sponsor research work in November, 1941, to develop suitable heat-resistant alloys. This paper describes the alloys which have evolved from the phase of their work conducted under contracts at the University of Michigan. Due to necessary restrictions under wartime conditions, the results have previously only been given limited circulation.
