Gas turbine engine components are prone to high- and low-cycle fatigue (HCF and LCF), cracking in critical areas of high stress. Cracks often initiate from local stress concentrations created by ...

NETL collaborates with strategic partners to enhance the availability and reduce costs for advanced power systems, including gas turbines like the one pictured here. As advanced fossil energy systems ...

Industrial gas turbine (IGT) manufacturers and maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) personnel are continually seeking new ways to improve the performance and longevity of critical components.

What are Ceramic Matrix Composites? Composite materials typically consist of two components: a reinforcement part to provide mechanical strength and a matrix material that holds all the components ...

Pre-swirl systems are a critical component in modern gas turbine engines, designed to condition the cooling airflow before it reaches the turbine rotor blades. By imparting a controlled rotational ...

A postgraduate student Anton Kazansky from South Ural State University (Chelyabinsk, Russia) is developing new technology for manufacturing gas turbine engine components. The young researcher became ...

AMES, Iowa – Engineers know that gas turbine engines for aircraft and power plants are more efficient and burn less fuel when they run at temperatures high enough to melt metal. But how to raise ...

Chromalloy announced today that it has launched a comprehensive new web-based catalogue that will help gas turbine engine operators and maintenance professionals reduce the time spent searching for ...

Paradigm Precision (www.paradigmprecision.com) acquired Smith West of Tempe, Ariz., Palmer Manufacturing Company of Malden, Mass., and Eurocast of Tunis, Tunisia, in what the company said were initial ...

Engine components supplier Chromalloy has won a potential five-year, $461.6M contract to remanufacture F108 low-pressure turbine assemblies for the U.S. Air Force ...

The history of the gas turbine can be traced back to 150 BC, when a Greek inventor, philosopher, and geometrician, Hero, who lived in Alexandria, Egypt, invented a toy called the “Aeolipile.” The toy ...
