- Based upon this research, Rolls-Royce plc has manufactured jet engine turbine blades with low scrappage rate and importantly with component integrity – leading to cost reduction of about £2mn per annum. The success of Panwisawas's collaborative work between Universities of Cambridge, Birmingham and Rolls-Royce plc has resulted in the achievement of Technology Readiness Level 6 at Rolls-Royce plc for industrial practice and process modelling of investment casting of single-crystal nickel-based superalloy aero-jet turbine blades, validated by the pilot-scale casting furnace at University of Birmingham. Dr Duncan Putman, Duncan.Putman@Rolls-Royce.com, Team Leader - Materials and Process Modelling, was the Rolls-Royce collaborator.
