The high strength of niobium-titanium alloy improves engine thrust

The high strength of niobium-titanium alloy (Nb-Ti) in turbine blades has the following effects on improving engine thrust:
1. High temperature strength and creep resistance:

• Niobium alloy has high temperature strength and creep resistance, and can maintain structural integrity and performance stability at extreme temperatures. This allows the engine to operate at higher temperatures, thereby improving thermal efficiency and thrust output. • Titanium alloy also has good high temperature strength and creep resistance, and is widely used in aircraft engines.

2. Lightweight and thrust-to-weight ratio improvement:
• If niobium-titanium alloy can be used in turbine blades, its high strength and low density may further reduce the weight of the engine and improve the thrust-to-weight ratio. The thrust-to-weight ratio is an important indicator of engine performance. A higher thrust-to-weight ratio means that the engine can generate more thrust while reducing weight.

3. Enhanced durability and reliability:
• High-strength materials can reduce deformation and fatigue failure of engine components, and improve the overall reliability and life of the engine. This allows the engine to maintain optimal condition for a longer period of time and provide thrust stably.
