An increasing number of low-pressure steam turbines—especially at supercritical fossil units—have experienced stress corrosion cracking in the blade attachment region of their low-pressure rotors.

The aerothermal performance of turbine blade tips is a critical aspect in the design of modern gas turbines, directly impacting both efficiency and durability. Research in this area focuses on ...

In this last column in our Earth Day 2013 series, IPWatchdog wants to take a look at some of the research and development coming out of one of the industry leaders in wind energy technology, General ...
