The strength of ODS superalloys has not been so satisfactory as to attract much attention for application in turbine blades. As one of the advanced materials programs supported by MITI, cooperative works were undertaken to develop ODS superalloys superior to monocrystalline alloys. Mechanical properties of new ODS alloys developed in Japan were summarized to evaluate their potentials for turbine blade applications. The project tasks included isothermal forging and diffusion bonding studies for blade fabrication.

This work was studied for the changes of thermal properties on GTD-111 DS (Directional Solidification) gas turbine blade. In this study, gas turbine blades with 24,000~34,000 firing hours was used to get more effective result, gradually applied hot isostatic pressing (HIP) and post-heat treatment for these samples. In the latter steps, we observed changes of γ´ phase affected in material properties, and microhardness test was carried out to evaluate mechanical properties according to changes of γ´ fraction and shape. Experimental result shows, changes of γ´ fraction and shape were affected by HIP and post-heat treatment. And also mechanical properties changes such as micro-hardness related to γ´ phase. In this study, we explained changing transition of microstructure according to γ´ fraction distribution.

Superplastic forming and diffusion bonding (SPF/DB) processes have been growing mature and titanium SPF/DB components have found wide application in aerospace industry. With the development of industrial SPF/DB technology, the size of SPF/DB components become bigger and bigger, and the shapes of components become more complex. However, the component sizes are limited by equipments, dies and the size of sheet. SPF/DB combined with welding technologies could be one of the possible solutions to form larger and more integrated structures due to many advantages compared with conventional process. This paper studied the combination processing of SPF and other welding methods besides diffusion bonding, such as electron beam welding and laser beam welding, and explained the experiments performed in different processes, including SPF after welding plate and welding plate after SPF. The results show that the material exhibits both reasonable formability and excellent mechanical properties. Application samples such as covers were manufactured by the combination processing. Furthermore, prospects of the combining technology were discussed at the end of paper.

This article provides a comprehensive review of the advancements made in the diffusion bonding of titanium and its alloys to other advanced materials such as aluminium, stainless steel, and magnesium. This combination of advanced alloys has received considerable attention in different industries, including aerospace, petrochemical, and nuclear applications due to high specific strength, lightweight, corrosion resistance, and moderate to high mechanical properties. The mechanisms of bond formation are discussed based on the type of microstructures formed and the mechanical properties achieved. The scientific literature identifies various methods/processes for controlling the volume of intermetallic compounds formed within the joint regions, as well as ways of maximising the strength of the weld/joints. This paper discusses the relationship between weld/bond properties and bonding parameters such as time, temperature, surface roughness, pressures, interlayer composition, and thickness. The scientific literature also shows that the bonding mechanisms and microstructural evolution of the bond zone can be significantly affected by suitable optimization of the bonding parameters. Additionally, this is a method of maximising bond strength.

A water turbine blade was investigated after it was discarded. First general macroscopic observations were performed on the turbine blade surface and then chemical composition of the steel was determined by arc spark optical emission spectroscopy. The study aimed to observe if the mechanical properties of the steel changed by a significant amount when compared with literature data. Tensile and impact tests were performed. The samples were obtained from transverse sections from the blade.

The Oxide Precipitation Hardened (OPH) steel is a new developed group of materials from Oxide Dispersion Strengthened (ODS) alloys which are well known advanced materials for high temperature properties. Besides, the corrosion resistance of these types of material is so important regarding to their practical usage. The production of OPH alloys, the same as ODS alloys, involves mechanical alloying process to create material with ductile matrix and hard oxide dispersion. Six variants of Fe-Al base OPH steel which developed and manufactured by the authors, were prepared with different chemical composition to evaluate the role of main component on the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of new-developed OPH steels. The corrosion tests were done using potentiodynamic polarization methods. The results show that the Aluminum content has a main role both on mechanical properties and corrosion resistance.

Superalloy René 77 is very wide used for turbine blades, turbine disks of aircraft engines which work up to 1050°C. These elements are generally produced by the investment casting method. Turbine blades produced by conventional precision casting methods have coarse and inhomogeneous grain structure. Such a material often does not fulfil basic requirements, which concern mechanical properties for the stuff used in aeronautical engineering. The incorporation of controlled grain size improved mechanical properties. This control of grain size in the casting operation was accomplished by the control of processing parameters such as casting temperature, mould preheating temperature, and the use of grain nucleates in the face of the mould. For nickel and cobalt based superalloys, it was found that cobalt aluminate (CoAl2O4) has the best nucleating effect. The objective of this work was to determine the influence of the inoculant’s content (cobalt aluminate) in the surface layer of the ceramic mould on the microstructure and mechanical properties at high temperature of nickel based superalloy René 77. For this purpose, the ceramic moulds were made with different concentration of cobalt aluminate in the primary slurry was from 0 to 10% mass. in zirconium flour. Stepped and cylindrical samples were casted for microstructure and mechanical examinations. The average grain size of the matrix ( phase), was determined on the stepped samples. The influence of surface modification on the grain size of up to section thickness was considered. The microstructure investigations with the use of light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) enable to examine the influence of the surface modification on the morphology of ’ phase and carbides precipitations. Verification of the influence of CoAl2O4 on the mechanical properties of castings were investigated on the basis of results obtained form creep tests.

The turbine blade is a key component in an aeroengine. Currently, measuring the turbine blade radiation temperature always requires obtaining the emissivity of the target surface in advance. However, changes in the emissivity and the reflected ambient radiation cause large errors in measurement results. In this paper, a three-wavelength radiation temperature measurement method was developed, without known emissivity, for reflection correction. Firstly, a three-dimensional dynamic reflection model of the turbine blade was established to describe the ambient radiation of the target blade based on the real surface of the engine turbine blade. Secondly, based on the reflection correction model, a three-wavelength radiation temperature measurement algorithm, independent of surface emissivity, was proposed to improve the measurement accuracy of the turbine blade radiation temperature in the engine. Finally, an experimental platform was built to verify the temperature measurement method. Compared with three conventional colorimetric methods, this method achieved an improved performance on blade temperature measurement, demonstrating a decline in the maximum error from 6.09% to 2.13% and in the average error from 2.82% to 1.20%. The proposed method would benefit the accuracy in the high-temperature measurement of turbine blades.
