What's New September 2023
September 2023 - Update to the Cryogenics and Low Temperatures Database
A total of 54 new materials including High Entropy Alloys (HEA), Nickel Alloys, and various steels, as well as
more composites such as graphene, fiberglass laminates and polymers have been added to the CLTD in this update.
There are 57 new properties which have also been added. These include a variety of mechanical properties,
thermophysical and electrical/magnetic properties of these materials. There are 377 new data sets with 869 new curves in Version 4 of the CLTD.
September 2023 - New Chapter Added on Rene 104
A new chapter on Rene 104 alloy was recently added to the AHAD, ASMD and HPAD.
Rene 104 is a nickel-based powder metallurgy (P/M) alloy. It was developed jointly by General Electric,
Pratt & Whitney, and NASA for application in gas turbine engine disks. It features superior high temperature properties and
robust processing and manufacturing characteristics. Rene 104 is capable of achieving or exceeding 700°C temperatures for the hot sections.
The higher operating temperature capability has resulted in approximately 50 times improvement in creep life over IN100, and
200 times that of Rene 88DT in dwell fatigue. Rene 104 applications extend beyond aircraft turbine engines and has been applied in power generation and other industries.
