USES OF HIGH TEMPERATURE ALLOYS
Materials used in the hot section of gas turbines are subject especially suitable for casings and sheet fabrications such

perature fasteners and Alloys 80A and 90 are often used
The cobalt-based grades Alloy L-605 and Alloy 188 find in these applications. These grades have good resistance
application in the hot section of the turbine and combustion to corrosion and oxidation combined with excellent high
chamber liners and ducts. Alloy L-605 has high strength temperature mechanical properties and creep resistance
and is resistant to oxidation and scaling at temperatures up and can be used up to 815°C-920°C. These alloys along
