Three new single crystal superalloys are isolated using theory-based computational modelling approaches, termed alloys-by-design methods. They are (i) an oxidation-resistant low Re-containing alloy with balanced properties, intended for general-purpose gas turbine applications; (ii) an alloy contain...
