THE APPLICATION OF CHEMICAL VAPOR DEPOSITED SILICON CARBIDE TO RADIAL TURBOMACHINERY

Radial turbines have significant advantage over axial flow machines, particularly in the small sizes because of their greater stage- work capacity at higher efficiencies. To fully realize this potential, it will be necessary to develop a ceramic radial rotor capable of withstanding the severe temperatures and stresses normally encountered in a gas turbine application. This paper presents such a rotor design and the progress to date toward fabricating the component in chemical vapor deposited silicon carbide. /GMRL/
