1. Introduce
– Super heat-resistant alloy for casting
– Used as a material for turbine blades of 1st to 3rd stages of F-class (TIT 1350℃ class) large power generation gas turbines
– Precipitation strengthened Ni-based superalloy containing Mo, Co, W, Ta, Cr refractory elements
– An alloy developed by GE by modifying Rene80, a material used in aircraft engines, as a material for gas turbine blades for power generation
– Creep fracture properties are about 20°C better than IN-738LC alloy, the most widely used gas turbine blade material for power generation
– Alloy with high Ti content among Ni-based super heat-resistant alloys
* GTD 111 vs Rene 80
– Similar in major chemical constituents Ni, Cr, Co, Ti, and A
– Different chemical composition of Mo, C, Ta
– Mo : GTD 111 contains approximately 2% less Mo than Rene 80
– C : GTD 111 contains about 0.1% less compared to Rene 80
– Ta : not added in Rene 80, GTD 111 contains approximately 2.5 to 3.1%
* GTD 111 vs IN-738LC
– GTD 111 has replaced IN-738LC, the previous material for high-power gas turbines operating at high temperatures, due to its excellent high-temperature properties
– Similar microstructure, corrosion resistance, and applications
– GTD 111 creep fracture temperature : 871℃ or higher
(Above 871℃, fracture occurs by a combination of surface cracks and internally grown cracks)
* TIT(Turbine Inlet Temperature)
– Turbine inlet temperature of gas turbine
– Gas turbine performance improves as the turbine inlet temperature increases
