KIMS Signs MOU for Aircraft Engine R&D with Hanwha Aerospace and Transfers Single-Crystal Material Technology

The Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS) has partnered with Hanwha Aerospace to localize materials for gas turbine engines used in aircraft. During the “KIMS TECHFAIR 2024,” they signed an MOU and technology transfer agreement to collaborate on R&D for gas turbine materials. The agreement includes transferring nickel-based single-crystal superalloy technology used in turbine blades, which improves high-temperature performance and turbine efficiency. This collaboration aims to accelerate material localization for aircraft engines, with KIMS’s expertise in high-temperature alloys supporting Hanwha Aerospace’s ongoing development in aerospace materials.
