Characterisation and modelling of Ni based superalloy materials with multi-layered MCrAlY coating systems
thesis
posted on 2014-11-11, 11:47 authored by Yang LiuThe research and development of more efficient gas turbines has been one of the central
focuses in materials design and characterisation for the past 20 years. High-temperature
materials capable of maintaining their properties at elevated temperatures and under load are
required for a wide range of components such as aircraft gas turbine engines, steam turbines,
and industrial gas turbines. The operating temperature for gas turbine blades used for
aerospace, marine and power plant applications, has been continuously increased in order to
improve fuel efficiency. Nickel-based superalloys with various types of high temperature
coatings have been widely and successfully used for such applications. [Continues.]
