Materials Used in Commercial Jet Engines

Alloys in the ASMD and AHAD are used extensively throughout jet engines and land based turbines. The applications include:

  • fan blades
  • compressor disks, rotors, blades and vanes
  • exhaust cones and thrust reversers
  • combustors and liners
  • casings and rings
  • bearings, gears and shafts


  • Commercial Jet Engine cross-section

    Performance, durability and predictability are essential for these critical rotating and high temperature applications. Alloys that are widely used have extensive materials characteristic data in the ASMD and AHAD including:
