Turbine blades are at high risk for creep fractures. The turbine blades residing in the hot gas path section of the turbine have the highest potential for creep fracture. Turbine blades undergo extreme temperatures while also enduring very high centrifugal loads. While working with one of our clients, Liburdi found a fifth-stage turbine disc with significant cracking after only 16,000 hours of operation (the typical life span of a turbine disc is >100,000 hours). Liburdi discovered several cracks at the base of multiple outer posts (fir trees) which retain the turbine blades. The cracks ran parallel to the serrations and penetrated up to ~1/4-inch into the disc posts. -- IDENTIFYING THE PROBLEM: -- The crack exhibited dark discoloration from in-service oxidation and an intergranular crack path (Figure b). Scanning electron microscopic examination revealed fine creep voids near the tip of the crack (Figure c). -- FURTHER EXAMINATION: -- Optical microscopy of a section perpendicular to the fracture confirmed the intergranular, branched crack path and oxidation of the crack surface (Figure d). There were no creep voids in the material surrounding the crack; the creep damage appeared localized to the advancing crack tip. There were no microstructural deficiencies found in the disc alloy. -- THE SOLUTION: -- Liburdi discovered a pattern of similar failures of the same component. This discovery led to a design modification that delivered increased cooling to the outer rim of the disc. The resulting temperature reduction allowed for a significant increase in the component's creep life. Want to have your parts assessed? Liburdi's maintenance can identify critical part failures, formulate solutions, and extend part life, saving you money while keeping your engines running optimally.
