The Development of Gas Turbine Materials

Summary

This chapter discusses the application of steels, with appropriate characteristics, for use within the gas turbine engine in the form of turbine and compressor discs, compressor blades, bearings, shafts and gears. The development of such materials to meet the changing conditions from the early Whittle experiments to the present day commercial engines is discussed and some mention is made of the different solutions to the problems arrived at in different locations. Despite their replacement by other materials in the most critical areas of the modern engine, it is argued that steels have a continuing role in this technology.
