FAQ

Which industrial sectors use the René 77?

Mainly critical industries, where mechanical and thermal performance are vital:

  • Aeronautics: turbine discs, blades, combustion chambers
  • Space & Defence: rocket engines, propulsion components
  • Energy: stationary gas turbines
  • Hot forming: tools subject to high thermal stresses
Why is it a "critical" alloy?

Because it is used in vital rooms, subjected to extreme environments. The slightest failure can lead to a major outage or security incident. This involves:

  • Strict traceability and quality control requirements
  • A thorough analysis of composition, microstructure and in-service behaviour
In what cases to analyze a René 77?
  • Material check at acceptance or supplier control
  • Expertise after rupture or abnormal corrosion
  • Validation of heat treatment (precipitation hardening)
  • Quality control in additive manufacturing
  • Reliability studies for critical parts
Can the analysis include an expert report?

Yes. Our material engineers can interpret the results, identify root causes of a defect and offer recommendations to secure your process or validate a supplier.
