Projects : Materials Engineering
DPT materials engineers can investigate various issues related to the selection, evaluation and manufactured application of materials for component design and operation:
- What’s best for the application – metallic or nonmetallic?
- What properties are most important – strength, fatigue, fracture toughness, corrosion resistance?
- What form is best - casting, forging, bar?
- Is heat treatment necessary?
- Is welding needed?
- Are special procurement requirements necessary?
- Why are current materials failing?
DPT professionals have extensive experience with many materials for various applications. Our access to in-house references and on-line resources allows us to provide prompt and accurate responses. A few projects examples include:
Evaluation
of various diffusion and overlay coatings for gas
turbine hot section components by comparison of
extent of coating and base metal attack |
 |
Selection of
materials with improved corrosion and creep
resistance for steam turbine rotors |
|
| Failure analysis of cracked reduction gear webs |
