CONSIDERATIONS TO KNOW ABOUT TYPES OF GAS TURBINE ENGINE

Protective coatings offer thermal insulation of the blade and give oxidation and corrosion resistance. Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) are often stabilized zirconium dioxide-centered ceramics and oxidation/corrosion resistant coatings (bond coats) commonly consist of aluminides or MCrAlY (where M is usually Fe and/or Cr) alloys. Using TBCs limitati
