Introduction
Superalloys constitute an important class of advanced engineering materials developed for applications in which high-temperature strength, structural stability, oxidation resistance, and environmental durability are required. Their development involves the relationship between alloy chemistry, processing conditions, microstructure, phase constitution, and service performance. [2]
Within this research landscape, academic investigations may address topics such as precipitation strengthening, phase transformations, grain structure, deformation mechanisms, oxidation, corrosion, manufacturing routes, and the optimization of alloy properties. The study of such relationships supports the broader objective of designing materials capable of maintaining performance under demanding operating conditions. [3]
