Deposition studies were conducted using two impingement jet facilities: a 60 m/s cold jet
(830–950 K) impinging on a heated Hastelloy-X surface (1033–1255 K) and a 215 m/s hot …

This paper seeks to unpack synergies that exist between minerals during deposition of the
heterogeneous AFRL02 mixture in gas turbine engines and demonstrate that the …

Atmospheric mineral dust aerosol constitutes a threat to aircraft engines from deterioration of
internal components. Here we fulfil an overdue need to quantify engine dust ingestion at …

The durability of thermal and environmental barrier coatings (T/EBCs) exposed to molten
calcium magnesium aluminosilicate (CMAS) deposits depends on the nature of reactions …

Aero engine performance and condition deterioration are a function of operational severity.
Operational severity is determined by various aspects such as airborne contaminants …

The aircraft engine hot section is most vulnerable and failure prone to environmental particle
ingestion, which, particularly for helicopters, can cause detrimental effects ranging from …

Rotating compressor blades experience complex alternating loads during service, altering
their stress–strain distributions and peak stress positions over time. Accurate measurement …

AFRL02 is a ubiquitous test dust in the field of particle deposition in gas turbine engines.
The traditional recipe for AFRL02 is 34 mass percent quartz, 30 mass percent gypsum, 17 …

The ingestion of siliceous particulate debris into the gas turbine engines during operation
caused the deposition of so-called CMAS (calcium-magnesium-alumino-silicate) on the …
