Description: This project will develop innovative composite powders and composites that will surpass the properties of currently identified materials for advanced gas turbine engine applications. Phase I will demonstrate a powder metallurgy technique for fabricating high-temperature, oxidation-resistant composite powders. Once consolidated, the resulting composite will possess high creep and thermal fatigue strength, and a low coefficient of thermal expansion properties.

Benefits: Power plant unit, boilers, diesel engines and stationary gas and steam turbines at a potentially much lower cost sheets for oxidizing atmosphere, Land base gas turbine engine.The composite powders also should find application in thermal-sprayed or cold-sprayed steam oxidation, corrosion-resistant high-temperature coatings for retrofitting existing fossil-fired power plant equipment, and laser additives manufacturing for turbine engine/blade repairing or refurbishing.

Casing materials gas turbine vanes, turbine blade, sheets for use in oxidizing/corrosive atmosphere, nozzle
