New coating combats “hot corrosion” in gas turbine buckets

Abstract

Scientists and engineers from General Electric Company of the USA's Research and Development Centre and Gas Turbine Division have come up with what they believe promises to be the best method yet devised for combating “hot corrosion” in gas turbine buckets—the scoop‐shaped airfoils that are spun by hot combustion gases, making the turbine rotate.
