Abstract: MCrAlY coatings are applied in industrial gas turbines and aircraft engines to protect surfaces of hot gas exposed components from oxidation and corrosion at elevated temperature. Apart from ...

Abstract: The performance of heavy duty gas turbines is closely related to the material capability of the components of the first turbine stage. In modern gas turbines single crystal (SX) and directionally ...

Abstract: The safe and efficient operation of modern heavy duty gas turbines requires a reliable prediction of fatigue behavior of turbine components. Fatigue damage is located in areas where cyclic ...

Abstract: Modern heavy-duty gas turbines operate under hot gas temperatures that are much higher than the temperature capability of nickel superalloys. For that reason, advanced cooling technology is applied ...
