摘要
The first-stage blades of a gas turbine had suffered a severe deterioration after around 10 500 h service. The expected service life was 40 000 h. Failure analysis (visual observations, studies by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), SEM back-scattered electron (SEM-BSE), EDX, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and dimensional metrology) has been carried out. Blades, manufactured in the nickel superalloy CMSX-4, lost the protective coatings from their tips due to wear. Unprotected surfaces suffered high-temperature hot corrosion (Type-I corrosion). It is concluded that failure was mainly caused by an uneven clearance (out-of-line) between rotor and lining. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
