In jet engines, almost 50% of failures are located in the damage of turbine blades and discs.
This paper presents the study to determine the root cause of the failure of a high-pressure …

Fatigue life variability of a newly developed third-generation Ni-based single crystal
superalloy resulting from different solution heat treatment procedures has been investigated …

Circular holes on single crystal (SX) superalloys are widely utilized as film cooling structures
on SX turbine blades, while their failure is a persistent issue. This study presents in-situ tests …

During service of a gas turbine engine, components may suffer instant overheating which is
a concern to safe operations. Effect of short overheating on the tensile properties of a Ni …
