Gas Turbines--Life Assessment
Hot section component life depends on the coating and material degradation. At SwRI we have performed life assessment of gas turbine components by performing condition assessment on various land base and aero derivative engine components. Over the years we have identified base material and coating in-service degradation mechanisms and developed COALIFE for determining service life metallic and ceramic coatings. The COATLIF model was validated using the field data.
