The hot components of a gas turbine are susceptible to damage in the high-temperature environment of turbine engine operation. Given that these components are relatively costly to manufacture, they are often repaired than replaced when damaged. Fusion welding is an economical method for repairing the damaged components of a gas turbine. This research examines the roles of heat input, pass number and layer number on the intergranular liquation cracking of the Inconel-939 (IN-939) precipitate nickel base superalloy during tungsten arc welding. Several specimens were welded with IN-625 filler alloy under argon gas by following the Taguchi method and an L8 array. These specimens were then characterized via metallographic investigations and hardness measurements. Results show that, during welding, the IN-939 heat-affected zone (HAZ) is acutely prone to cracks that propagate along the grain boundaries. Moreover, layer number, heat input and pass number significantly influence the microstructure and liquation cracking of HAZs with impact percentages of 72.37%, 22.17% and 4.84%, respectively.

Effect of Welding Parameters on the Liquation Cracking Behavior of High-Chromium Ni-Based Superalloy Mashhuriazar, Amirhossein; Omidvar, Hamid; Gür, Cemil Hakan; Sajuri, Zainuddin (2020-11-01) Gas turbine blades working under extremely harsh operating conditions are made of superalloys. These superalloys are exposed to various damage mechanisms, which wear them out gradually. Welding is often preferred to repair the damaged components for cost minimization. This study aimed to investigate the effects of flexural load, heat input, and welding speed on the weldability and intergranular liquation cracking of high-chromium Ni-based superalloy. For this purpose, a series of Sigmajig tests designed bas...
The Influence of cooling configuration and tip geometry on gas turbine blade tip leakage flow and heat transfer Sakaoğlu, Sergen; Kahveci, Harika Senem; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2019) In gas turbine engines, an increase in the thermal efﬁciency and power output can be ensured by increasing the turbine inlet temperature. This causes the high-pressure turbine (HPT) blades to be exposed to extremely high temperatures that requires the introduction of cooling ﬂow in order to keep the temperatures within the allowable material limits and to reduce the high thermal loads on the blade. However, cooling ﬂow introduced around the blade tip region affects the blade tip leakage ﬂow and blade tip he...
Effect of chromium on the oxidation of steels used in the construction of petroleum refinery heaters Sultan, Abdelrahman Saleh; Karakaya, İshak; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2013) Low chromium steels used in the construction of petroleum refinery heaters work in flue gas environments containing water vapor. On the other hand, the higher oxidation rates of chromium containing steels in moist atmospheres have been reported. P-5, P-22, P-11(containing 5, 2.25 and 1.25 %Cr) and C-5 steels, used in petroleum refinery construction, were subjected to isothermal oxidation tests. These steels were tested in two different environments; air and flue gas of natural gas combustion -CO2+2H2O+7.52N...
Effect of Fiber Orientation of Bend-Twist Coupled Blades on the Structural Performance of the Wind Turbine System Şener, Özgün; Kayran, Altan (2017-01-05) The effect of fibre angle of bend-twist coupled mixed GFRP-CFRP wind turbine blades on the structural performance of the wind turbine system is studied. For the structural performance evaluation, the effect of the use of off-axis plies in the main spar caps of the bendtwist coupled wind turbine blade on the reduction of damage correspondent internal loads in the whole wind turbine system, electrical power produced, tower-blade end gap, and maximum stress in the blades are taken as major criteria. Different ...
Modelling of interaction of shock waves with analytical methods Koç, Mesut; Aksel, Mehmet Haluk; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2022-2) In supersonic air vehicles, specially shaped air ducts are used to supply the air with required properties to the combustion chambers. Two-dimensional supersonic flow solvers used to design such geometrical shapes have become less accurate as the geometrical shape of the air duct becomes asymmetric or flow becomes three-dimensional. This problem can be overcome by solving the interaction between shock planes using analytical methods. In this study, an analytical solution model based on principles of gas dyn...
