Gerhard E. Fuchs

HTAL High Temperature Alloys Group

Nickel and cobalt based superalloys are utilized whenever high temperatures and aggressive environments are imposed on structural materials that are needed to maintain high strength for long operating times and over many load cycles. The high temperature alloys (HTAL) research group consisting of Dr. Fuchs and his students is currently conducting research to investigate microstructure, property, and processing relationships of superalloys. In order to investigate the structure-property relationships of high temperature alloys, the HTAL research group employs an extensive collection of research equipment and capabilities that include: Vacuum induction melting, high temperature vacuum heat treating, hot isostatic pressing, cold rolling, creep testing, high temperature fatigue and tensile load testing, and a variety of other standard mechanical and metallographic analysis facilities. The HTAL research group also frequently utilizes the many analytical techniques provided through UF’s Major Analytical Instrumentation Center (MAIC), which includes SEM, TEM, auger microscopy, XRD, and many other techniques.
