Investigation of Effects of Grain Size Upon Engine Life of Cast AMS 5385 Gas Turbine Blades (open access)

Investigation of Effects of Grain Size Upon Engine Life of Cast AMS 5385 Gas Turbine Blades

Report presenting an investigation to determine the effects of pouring temperature and grain size on the uniformity of lives and initial failure times of groups of AMS 5385 gas turbine blades and to relate the individual lives of the blades to grain size. This is due to the fact that the uniformity of lift of cast alloy gas-turbine blades is generally unsatisfactory. Results regarding the metallurgical examination are provided.

Investigation of 16-inch impulse-type supersonic compressor rotor with turning past axial direction (open access)

Investigation of 16-inch impulse-type supersonic compressor rotor with turning past axial direction

Report presenting an experimental investigation using a 16-inch impulse-type supersonic-compressor rotor as a separate component, which obtained a maximum total-pressure ratio of 5.42 and an adiabatic efficiency of 0.76 at 101-percent design speed. The rotor could operate over a wide range of back pressures, but it did not obtain the design impulse condition. Results regarding the rotor-component investigation and stage investigation are provided.
