Ceramic Injection Moulding used to produce high performance gas turbine components

摘要

Stationary gas turbines are destined for local and independent energy conversion with combined heat and power generation. Recent research efforts have focused on how the efficiency of these gas turbines can be increased either through using a higher operating temperature or a lower amount of cooling. Both approaches result in significantly higher gas turbine component temperatures. Because metal alloys are already operating at their physical limits in terms of temperature, researchers are seeking to develop ceramic components capable of substituting metal alloys used at the very high temperatures required.
