Abstract

Three intergovernmental research organizations from the EIROforum collaboration: the European Space Agency (ESA), the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) and the Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL), are cooperating to perform advanced experimental characterization in the field of materials science within the framework of the IMPRESS Integrated Project. This project aims to develop and test two distinct prototype-based intermetallic materials: (i) γ-TiAl turbine blades for aero-engines and stationary gas turbines, and (ii) Raney-type Ni-Al catalytic powder for use in hydrogen fuel cell electrodes and hydrogenation reactions. The opportunity to carry out investigations combining the use of both synchrotron radiation at the ESRF and neutrons at the ILL provides unique experimental data to complement other benchmark experiments performed on the ground and in microgravity. We present an overview of the different synchrotron X-ray and neutron characterization techniques implemented at ESRF and ILL to study the solidification and subsequent processes leading to the final products for these two materials.
