Abstract:
When engine parts are subjected to a high temperature, their life time and performance will reduce due to the defects result from that high temperature.
This report shows the definition of refractory materials, its properties and the effect of using them in rockets engines (nozzles) and aircrafts engines (turbine blades).
A turbine blade studied by using ANSYS 16.0 software in order to show the effect of thermal barrier coating which expose noticeable reduction in the temperature penetrating the blade’s layers, hence the thermal barrier coating increase the durability of the blade by decreasing the temperature subjected to the basic blade material.
Supersonic turbine blade materials percentage displayed by using X-Ray florescent test.
