Gas temperature target: > 1400 °C<br />
Base material life: 50000 h<br />
Coat<strong>in</strong>g life: 25000 h<br />
Rotor life: 100000 h<br />
- reliable <strong>the</strong>rmal barrier coat<strong>in</strong>gs (TBCs)<br />
for combustors and front stage blad<strong>in</strong>g<br />
- new TBCs with higher temperature<br />
capability 1400 °C<br />
- life prediction methodologies<br />
for TBC coated SX alloys<br />
as <strong>in</strong>tegral part of <strong>the</strong> design<br />
- austenitic rotors (also for steam turb<strong>in</strong>es)<br />
- fibre re<strong>in</strong>forced ceramics and<br />
<strong>in</strong>termetallics<br />
to ensure efficiencies<br />
