Abstract

The efficiency of gas turbine systems used for energy production and for aeronautical engines construction can be improved through the elevated thermo-mechanical capabilities of advanced materials employed for blades production. It is well known in fact, the importance to increase the turbine inlet temperature; this temperature is limited by the highest working temperature of steels and super-alloys of which blades and rotor are made. Therefore it is necessary to study the employment of new materials more resistant to high temperatures.
