High Temperature Spin Testing Validates Turbine Engine Component

摘要

Component spin testing at engine temperatures offers a method to reliably evaluate components in extreme operating environments. The demand for more fuel-efficient turbine engines in aircraft is being driven by soaring fuel prices, unrest in oil-producing nations, global demand to save the environment, and corporate demand to cut costs. While there is immense pressure on design engineers to develop these engines, the "heat" is on test engineers to create new ways to validate component parts that will run, spin, and vibrate in hotter, harsher turbine engine environments that could reach temperatures over 2000℉.
