The typical jet engine consists of many different materials depending on the components purpose.
Because there is such a huge temperature difference from one end of the engine to the other, designers use the lightest possible materials that are strong enough and have a high enough melting point.
Typical materials include:
- Aluminium alloys for low pressure compressors and low stress components such as cowling's
- Nickel alloys are used for HP compressors and turbines, grown as a single crystal to stop cracking in the extreme heat, in excess of 1000 degrees C
- Ceramics are also found in turbine blades and high temperature components.
- Titanium is used for fan blades and other low temperature components for its high strength and low weight, endorsed by Rolls Royce.
- Carbon fibre is being introduced for use in fan blades and cowling's on General Electric engines such as the GE-90 and GEnx, however this material is not as strong as titanium and can fragment and enter the engine
There are many more, far too many to mention, however these are all the commonly used materials and alloy bases.

What materials are used for wind turbines?
Conventional metals and composite materials for most parts. The column for example is a steel fabrication. The alternators use rare-earth alloy permanent magnets, with the corollary that their raw materials are costly and found in only a few locations on Earth.
