T. Álvarez Tejedor, Endesa Generación, Spain
Abstract:
The aim of this chapter is to provide a comprehensive review of the material technology used for high-temperature applications and their impact on the operational life of the gas turbine. Market advantage today relies on increasing performance and efficiency as well as reducing life-cycle costs. The first statement is responsible for pushing present materials and coatings to their limits with significant consequences in terms of the durability and maintenance costs for machines that rely on these advanced hot section designs. Gas turbine material selection will greatly impact both gas turbine performance ...
