Abstract

Operation of gas turbines at higher temperatures can improve fuel efficiency and reduce carbon emissions, but may also lead to increased corrosion of turbine materials. A program was designed to improve the understanding of corrosion-fatigue behaviour of two grain size variants of a nickel-based sup...
