Dr. Singh Interview - Video | Oklahoma State University

Dr. Singh pioneered and developed a novel process of melt infiltration (MI) for fabricating fully dense and net-shape SiC fiber-reinforced ceramic matrix composites (CMCs). Gas turbine engine manufacturers and users such as GE, UTC, RollsRoyce, NASA and USAF in the USA as well as worldwide companies in Europe and Japan are pursuing this technology. The MI-CMC products are being used as vanes, blades shrouds and liners in hot sections of turbine engines. GE-Aviation has started several new businesses for manufacturing MI-CMC parts for use in current and future gas turbines with projected market well over tens of billions of dollars for aircraft gas turbines alone. GE Aviation has used these CMCs for the GE LEAP engine for Boeing 737, AirBus A320Neo and COMAC aircrafts since 2016 and GE9x engines for the new Boeing 777 starting in 2019-2020. These are the world’s first jet engines with MI-ceramic composites used as structural turbine components because of the pioneering work of Dr. Singh.
