Since entering aircraft service in the 1950s, gas turbines have competed successfully in other fields, particularly oil and gas transmission and peak-load power generation. Concentrating on aero-engine technology and its applications, this collection of papers tracks the major turbine materials and process developments during the last 40 years, including the following specific topics: (1) gas-turbine engine design, efficiency improvements, and materials selection, (2) the application of steels in turbine and compressor discs, compressor blades, bearings, shafts, and gears, (3) the metallurgy of titanium and its alloys and their use in critical components, (4) the development and application of nickel-based alloys and composite materials (for example, reinforcing fibers), (5) light-alloy and titanium precision casting technology, (6) the forging of gas-turbine discs and compressor and turbine blades, (7) fabrication and joining of various sheet-metal materials, and (8) surface degradation problems and the treatments available (such as coatings) to protect components from oxidation, corrosion, and erosion.
