NEW ALLOY CAN DOUBLE LIFE OF GAS TURBINE BLADES

A new high-temperature alloy developed by International Nickel Ltd could more than double the life of turbine blades in industrial and marine gas turbines. In addition, the alloy should enable cheaper, cruder fuel to be used and so cut running costs. Designated IN-939, the nickel-base cast alloy is said to give improved hot-corrosion resistance while retaining the hot-strength requirements of alloys used for turbine blades.
