Materials Research for Gas<br />

Turb<strong>in</strong>es at <strong>Helmholtz</strong><br />

Source: Siemens Journals<br />

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 />

> 65 % (2015)<br />

> 70 % (beyond 2020)
