Fatigue Fracture of Turbine Blades: Case Studies

Article Preview

Abstract:

Fracture surfaces of two sets of rotor blades failed after strong testing procedures of aircraft engines in the test-stand are investigated by means of SEM. While the process of fatigue fracture in the first set of blades did not reveal any defect features, both the initiation and propagation of fatigue cracks was strongly influenced by casting defects.
