Abstract: The researched work quite essentially deals with the resoluteness of the safety and structural integrity of the centrifugal impeller in withstanding the forces impacted on the targeted materials Ti-6Al-4V and Au2gn. In order to counteract the effects prevalent as a result of profound instabilities such as surging, stalling and choking, the materials were subjected to an intense comparative study, undertaken with respect to primary parameters such as good strength yield, in addition to dispensing a rotational speed of 20000 rpm. The preliminary solid modeling was executed using CATIAV5. Structural Analysis is carried out using ANSYS software in order to establish their strengths together with the location of maximum stress and strain. 2D FEM simulation was done on the impeller. Furthermore the number of cycles to failure was computed using the best amongst the known strain – based life estimation methods. From the modal analysis the ubiquitous critical mode shape along with the frequency at which the maximum relative displacement occurs were obtained. Finally, Ti-6Al-4V was affirmed to be better than Au2gn.
