A wide range of metallic materials, including steels, aluminium alloys, magnesium alloys, titanium alloys, and superalloys with iron, nickel, and cobalt bases, are used in gas turbine engines in propulsion system applications.
A gas turbine is a combustion engine in the centre of a power plant that may transform mechanical energy from natural gas or other liquid fuels. This power then propels a generator, which creates the electrical energy that travels via power lines to residences and commercial buildings.
The whirling blades are spun when hot combustion gas expands through the turbine. The whirling blades have two purposes: they power a generator to generate energy and operate a compressor to push more pressurised air into the combustion chamber.
The Global gas turbine materials market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
GE to Provide Digital Solutions for LM2500 Gas Turbines for Indian Navy’s New IAC-1 Vikrant. GE’s SmartSignal system, which will give the Navy early warnings of equipment situations that might result in engine damage and unscheduled losses, is a part of this package of digital technologies.
These preliminary findings potentially increase Navy effectiveness while lowering operational risk. The Navy will be able to transition to a genuinely predictive mode of operation with regard to its gas turbine propulsion thanks to GE’s unique predictive analytics technology that is integrated into the shore-based ‘digital twin’ of the Vikrant’s gas turbine engine.
With a GE gas turbine, navies may benefit from interoperability advantages with other allied ships and global support, both on land and at sea. 95% of the commissioned propulsion gas turbines in the fleet of the United States Navy are supplied by GE, which has also provided gas turbines to 633 navy ships worldwide.
Navies save millions of dollars a year and weeks or months of ship downtime because of GE’s split casing compressor and power turbine designs, which allow for in-situ repair.
