Hanwha Aerospace announced on the 25th that it held the 'Korea Institute of Materials Science - Hanwha Aerospace 1st Technology Exchange Meeting 2025' at the Korea Institute of Materials Science in Changwon, Gyeongnam, on the 24th. The event was organized to secure source technology for materials necessary for the development of advanced aircraft engines, and more than 20 officials attended, including Choi Joo-tae, an executive at Hanwha Aerospace, and Yu Bong-seon, the vice president of the Korea Institute of Materials Science.
The two sides shared the status of key technology development for aircraft engines related to ultra-high temperature alloys and titanium materials, including ▲ material design databases ▲ casting ▲ forging ▲ additive manufacturing ▲ coating, and discussed measures for continued cooperation in the future.
Last October, Hanwha Aerospace and the Korea Institute of Materials Science signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for mutual cooperation in research and development related to aircraft engine materials and a transfer agreement for ultra-high temperature alloy material technology. Based on this cooperation, both organizations plan to continuously strengthen their research and development capabilities for advanced aircraft engine development.
A representative from Hanwha Aerospace noted, 'Once the main project for the development of advanced aircraft engines progresses, preparations will be made to ensure swift development based on public-private cooperation.'
