Describes the evolution in manufacture of jet engine turbine blades from wrought steel to directional solidification and single crystal growth. Reports on SCORPIO, the single crystal orientation rapid processing and interpretation operation, developed by Rolls-Royce for blade inspection to ensure that each is formed from a single crystal grain with the correct orientation. Also reports the improvement in performance that has been achieved in blade performance.
