in gas turbine various materials are used such as titanium alloys ,nickel alloys ....these materials having properties which makes them suitable for gas turbine
2. GAS TURBINEMATERIALS
Gas turbine: dude which materials suits for me?
Me : Titanium alloy , Ni-based super alloy , stainless
steel,cobalt based super alloy , iron based alloy ,
Rene 41,77,100.......,PMC , CMC, .......
GT: can u brief about these materials?
Me: sure, shall we proceed...
GT:sure....
4. Titanium alloy and its proerties
High strength to wt ratio
600°C is its temp limit
(3-33%)
Ti -6AI-4V IN SR COMPONENTS AND ALLOY
685 IN EURO AERO ENGINES
ALLOY 834 IN COMPRESSOR DISC IN RR
TI +SMALL AMOUNT OF Si =CREEP
RESISTENCE
Which is used for blade discs and rotor @temp
upto 540°C
5. Combustion chamber
Challenge: improvement of high tempr creep
rupture strength without sacrificing the oxidation
and CR
Nimonic 263 higher creep strength
HA -188, a cobalt based super alloy improved
creep strength
Ni based super alloy 617 & 230 (combustor
components)
Liners and transition pieces are given a thermal
barrier coating (insulating and protecting the
base material)
6. Turbine materials
Challenges : high temp..creep and oxidation resistant
Wrought alloy with increse level of al based alloy(
prob-forge)
A286,an austenitic iron base alloy and super alloy 718
used in a/c engine for many yrs
Cast Ni based alloy due to high temp strength
Rene XX –having hi chromium (=so high cr and temp)
to avoid nucleation and cavity growth ds alloy used ,it
improved the turbine balde material capability by 14°C
And for nozzle parts cobalt base alloy used for high
strength @ high temp
7. Nozzle, vane and coatings
And for nozzle parts cobalt base alloy used for
high strength @ high temp
ODS SUPER ALLOY for vanes
MA754 BY GENERAL ELECTRIC as vane
material due to high strenth @ hT
For coating
Aluminide coating ,overlay coatings and TBCs
8. Future materials under R&D
Ceramics : due to high temp compatibility
40% relatively lighter than high
temp alloy
cost also less
INTERMETALLICS: low density
prob:fracture toughness and
resisteence to fatigue
PMC in cold section of jet engine, ti based mmc are
used extensively due to red in wt
9. GT: why r these materials suits for me?
Me : because u needs the following properties and
they fulfill them and they are:
Ability to withstand at elevated temp
High strength to wt ratio and substantial wt
reduction
Fatigue and creep resistence
Oxidation and hot corrosion resistence
