... BY BERNARD L KOFF JOSEPH MOORE, one of the nation's foremost leading pioneers in materials development for gas turbines and rocket engines, died on January 7, 2006, at the age of seventy nine.
From page 162...
... A natural born leader, Joe proactively worked with engine designers, manufacturers, and project engineers to clearly define and understand requirements to advance the state of art in materials set against specific goals. The results were dramatic and the materials contributions were subsequently cited as "key enabling technologies." These technologies were used in the successful development of the revolutionary, continuously afterburning J58 power plant used in the Mach 3+ SR-71 reconnaissance aircraft, best known as the Blackbird.
From page 163...
... The equiaxed cast alloy IN 100 was first used for the J58 engine turbine blades at a time when cast turbine blades were not considered useful because of low fatigue strength. Multiple forging procedures were also developed to provide uniform cross-section strength for Astroloy which was the strongest but difficult to forge superalloy turbine disk material.

... He was a member of the American Society for Metals and served on numerous government, university, industry boards, and committees including the National Research Council. He also provided support to universities for curriculum guidance in metallurgy and related subjects.
