(a) (i) Explain why the yield strength of metallic materials can be increased by grain size refinement. (ii) Explain why nickel base alloys which are strengthened by grain size refinement are not suitable for aircraft turbine blade applications. (b) Describe the alloying and the manufacturing strategies which are used for the production of nickel base alloys which are currently used as high-performance aircraft engine turbine blade materials. (c)(i) List the principal microstructural features of the aircraft engine turbine blade materials in your answer for Question 1(d). (ii) Explain how the yield strength of engine turbine blades in your answer for Question 1(b) is affected by each microstructural feature you have listed. (iii) Explain how the creep strength of engine turbine blades in your answer for Question 1(b) is affected by each microstructural feature you have listed
