The gas turbine materials technology program at Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) includes super alloys, including directionally solidified and single crystal alloys, coatings, titanium alloys, composites, ceramics, intermetallics, and polymers, as well as conventional ferrous and nonferrous materials.
For materials and coatings selection, it is necessary to understand the parameters, such as the materials and process, structure-property relationships, and process quality assurance that affect the durability of the components. SwRI engineers have worked extensively on numerous gas turbine materials and coatings and tested a number of superalloys and coatings to generate a materials database, understand degradation mechanisms, and develop life assessment methods. SwRI has conducted studies that can be broadly categorized as:
