Gas Turbines - Maintaining Integrity & Improving Durability 2014

Key Topics

• Distinction between expected component degradation in normal operation and that which occurs during ‘failures’
• The consequences of arduous operating conditions and why they lead directly to limited component lives and the need to maintain the machine
• Techniques used to repair components so they can continue to operate effectively and reliably
• How to assess the useful life of components
• Failures arising from design, operation, repair and maintenance issues
• The role of a suitable failure investigation and feedback to minimizing the chance of a repeat occurrence
• Implications for future inspection and maintenance practices
• Lessons learnt and practical applications which can minimise risk
