Concorde stage 6 turbine rotor.
This blade is from the turbine (hot exhaust) side of an engine from the decommissioned Concorde supersonic passenger jet. Specifically it is the HPCST6 (sixth-stage rotor) blade, meaning it is a blade that rotates with the core of the engine. It is made of Nimonic alloy, probably Nimonic-90, one of a family of nickel-chromium super-alloys with the composition:
Ni 54% min
Cr 18-21%
Co 15-21%
Ti 2-3%
Al 1-2%
