Discussion Overview
The discussion revolves around finding the Poisson's ratio for Nimonic 115, a nickel-based alloy, particularly in the context of its application as a turbine blade material. Participants explore potential sources for this information and consider alternatives if data is unavailable.
Discussion Character
- Exploratory, Technical explanation, Debate/contested
Main Points Raised
- One participant expresses difficulty in finding the Poisson's ratio for Nimonic 115 and indicates a need for this information for research purposes.
- Another participant suggests contacting the supplier for technical information, noting that manufacturers may not have specific data but could provide estimates based on similar alloys.
- A participant questions whether the original inquiry might be referring to Multimet N-155 instead of Nimonic 115.
- One participant emphasizes the importance of obtaining the correct data for Nimonic 115, indicating a willingness to consider alternative materials if necessary.
- Another participant recommends contacting Special Metals, the originator of the alloy, for assistance from an applications engineer.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
Participants do not reach a consensus on the availability of the Poisson's ratio for Nimonic 115, and multiple suggestions for obtaining information are presented without resolution.
Contextual Notes
There is uncertainty regarding the availability of specific material properties for Nimonic 115, and the discussion includes references to alternative alloys and the potential need for further research.
