There is a universe hidden in every turbine blade

The beauty of the universe lies in its mystery and depth. The Milky Way alone contains countless galaxies, stars and dust, far beyond the range of human observation. Did you know that the turbine blades of aircraft engines also contain a “universe” of materials. In this “universe”, atoms and molecules are cleverly combined to help […]
Basic knowledge of aircraft engine blades (1)
Introduction to turbine blades The component with the worst working conditions in the turbine engine is also the most important rotating component. In the hot end components of aircraft engines, the turbine blades are subjected to high-temperature gas erosion and temperature changes during the engine start-up and shutdown cycles, and the rotor blades are subjected […]
