BWD TURBINES LIMITED

 ADVANCED TURBINE TECHNOLOGIES FOR THE INDUSTRY  WORLDWIDE
Text Box: SUPERALLOYS AND COATINGS Materials For Gas Turbines Presented By Dr. Donald H. Boone Dr. Gerhard E. Fuchs This 4-Day course provides a basic level of knowledge of the metallurgy, manufacture, mechanical and surface behavior of these critical hot section alloys. Most importantly, the course provides strong coverage on coating protection and selection and on technologies vital to repair and refurbishment such as coating stripping and re-coating, welding, brazing, HIPing and re-heat treatment and property rejuvenation. Of particular importance is the information on component degradation, remaining life assessment and repair work scoping. This course is intended to provide a base for the engineering, supervisory and purchasing decisions concerning equipment operation and component repair, refurbishment, refitting, and replacement when superalloys are involved. SUPERALLOYS has been given both publicly and "in-house" to utilities, cogenerators / IPP’s, airlines, component manufacturers and various users and over haulers; the most recent course was attended by 35+ students. This course has been presented over 85 times, and has become the standard training course of the gas turbine industry.
