Abstract

The paper refers to a standardized procedure for estimation of gas turbine blade deterioration through solid particle erosion and its implications in aeronautical safety. A relevant state of the art of turbine blade thermal barrier coating erosion is made. Also, a semi-empirical erosion model is proposed, based on a reinterpretation of available experimental data. The correlations between exposure time and erosion ratio is then used to estimate the health state of the turbine in order to manage the risk of turbine failure due to overheating. The methods and conclusions of this paper may be useful for aviation as well as industrial turbine engine risk management for installations which operate under particle laden conditions with limited filtering capabilities.
