May 24, 2023 · The objective of the CMC turbine blade durability program is to identify critical material and design parameters that affect durability of ceramic matrix composite (CMC) turbine blades.

Apr 22, 2019 · GE turbine shrouds made of CMCs now successfully operate in the hottest section of the best-selling LEAP turbofan, produced by CFM International, (a 50/50 joint company of GE and Safran Aircraft Engines), which is powering hundreds of single-aisle commercial jetliners.

Ceramic matrix composite (CMC) components are being developed for turbine engine applications. Compared to metallic components, the CMC components offer benefits of higher temperature capability and less cooling requirements which correlates to improved efficiency and reduced emissions. This presentation discusses a technology develop effort

Dec 17, 2020 · Pratt & Whitney to produce advanced metal and CMC turbine airfoils in North Carolina. New 1 million-square-foot production facility follows CMC R&D center and publicized strategy for next-gen engines.

In this paper, the authors present the summary of design, manufacturing, and testing, which were conducted from 2010 to 2012. The purpose of this work was to verify that the SiC-SiC CMC which IHI has developed has the applicability to aircraft turbine vanes.

IHI is considering applying CMCs to aero-engine turbines whose environmental temperature exceeds 1 000°C, and is developing SiC-based CMCs with high heat resistance.(1) Application of CMCs to aero-engines is expected to improve fuel efficiency for the following reasons.

Apr 20, 2023 · Ceramic-Matrix Composites (CMCs) are envisioned as lightweight replacements for metal alloys, offering nearly one-third of the material density but superior physical and thermal properties.

The CMC turbine shrouds after engine test were determined to be serviceable; therefore, the developed 1400 °C class CMC shrouds were proven to be sound in an actual engine environment.

May 10, 2024 · SiC/SiC ceramic matrix composite (CMC) inlet guide vanes for a high-pressure turbine are aimed for a geared turbofan and show promise for more efficient aeroengines with less weight and need for cooling.

The objective of the CMC turbine blade durability program is to identify critical material and design parameters that affect durability of ceramic matrix composite (CMC) turbine blades. A
