Advanced ceramic matrix composites for energy generating gas turbine applications

该项目将开发用于发电燃气涡轮机应用的高温氧化物/氧化物陶瓷基复合材料（CMC）。这将提供温度能力的阶跃变化，从而实现更高的工作温度，提高发动机效率并减少CO2排放。为了实现这些目标，提出了一种新的工艺路线制造的CMC的发展。该计划将产生对材料，其故障/降解机制，优化制造工艺，NDE寿命和维修问题的基本理解。学术合作伙伴将提供CMC技术和材料的理解。工业界将开发无损检测、寿命技术，将工艺规模扩大到试验工厂水平，并提供开采路线。

The project will develop a high temperature oxide/oxide ceramic matrix composite (CMC) for use in power generating gas turbine applications. This will provide a step change in temperature capability enabling higher operating temperatures, improving engine efficiency and reducing CO2 emissions. To achieve these objectives development of a CMC manufactured by a novel processing route is proposed. The programme will generate a fundamental understanding of the material, its failure/degradation mechanisms, optimised manufacturing process, NDE lifing, and repair issues. The academic partners will provide the CMC technology and the materials understanding. Industry will develop the NDE, lifing technologies, scale the process up to pilot plant level and provide the exploitation route.
