Hanwha Aerospace has secured an exclusive license for Korea Institute of Materials Science's (KIMS) Korean patent titled "Ni base single crystal superalloy and Method of manufacturing thereof" (Registration No. KR2340057). The exclusive license registration was completed on December 13, 2024, and is effective from October 10, 2024, through November 21, 2037.
In October 2024, Hanwha Aerospace and KIMS entered into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) related to aerospace engine material research and development, along with a technology transfer agreement for superalloy materials.
The patent details a technology for manufacturing a heat-resistant alloy—specifically, a nickel-based single crystal superalloy. The alloy is formulated with precise weight percentages of aluminum, cobalt, chromium, molybdenum, rhenium, tantalum, titanium, tungsten, and nickel, ensuring high strength and durability even in extreme high-temperature environments.
This technology is applicable to aerospace components such as jet engine turbine blades, as well as gas turbines and various industrial high-temperature equipment.
The patent originated from KIMS' 2017 national R&D project titled "Development of Rare Earth-Reduced, Multipurpose High-Temperature Materials and Thermal Barrier Coating Process Technology for Gas Turbines."
In February 2025, Hanwha Aerospace hosted its first technology exchange session with KIMS, an event aimed at securing core material technologies for advanced aerospace engine development. During the session, the two organizations shared updates on superalloy and titanium material technologies, including developments in material design databases, casting, forging, additive manufacturing, and coating processes.
