| Abstract Scope |
Additive Manufacturing (AM) of metallic components is unlocking new design options for high efficiency gas turbine component designs not possible by conventional manufacturing technologies. The market requirement for fast introduction of AM components into harsh gas turbine operational environments, necessitates the reduction of risk by integrating sensors with AM components. With real-time sensing integrated into AM components, a 30-50% acceleration in product deployment of high efficiency components is possible. The presentation will discuss the application of wear sensors in gas turbine components and the critical data available to designers regarding the complex loading conditions mating interfaces. An exemplary component such as a transition mouth seal will be used to verify and validate the development approach and illustrate the application of new sensors and materials in harsh environments. Major hurdles and future outlook for integrated smart AM components will also be presented. |
