Presentations

Note: Presentations may start a few minutes before the time listed in the schedule.

This tutorial is intended for engineers whose principal focus is outside of the materials disciplines; designers, performance engineers, aerodynamicists and operating personnel.

Metallurgy for the non-metallurgist introduces the fundamental concepts of how materials are designed and familiarizes non-specialists with the materials and processes used to manufacture turbine hardware and the behaviour of these materials in service. Application examples are drawn from throughout the gas turbine industry.Metallurgy for the non-metallurgist introduces the fundamental concepts of how materials are designed and familiarizes non-specialists with the materials and processes used to manufacture turbine hardware and the behaviour of these materials in service.

Attendees should come away with an understanding of how superalloys develop their unique properties, familiarity with the processes used to manufacture turbine hot section components, an understanding of the types of high temperature coatings, their function and manufacture, and an appreciation of how hot section materials may degrade due to operation in a turbine.
