Abstract Scope |
Precise measurement of the high-temperature properties of materials and effective control of production processes are essential for optimizing procedures in high-temperature applications, such as energy generation and aircraft turbine propulsion. Environments with elevated temperatures pose unique challenges for materials, including the sustained maintenance of mechanical properties and resistance to oxidation. The present work compiles examples where Gleeble thermomechanical simulators have been utilized to measure high-temperature mechanical properties, simulate industrial production processes, and assess material performance in real-world conditions. The approach involves employing accurate methods for temperature and strain measurements, enabling precise thermomechanical monitoring during high-temperature heat cycling, fatigue, creep, and deformation. The cases examined encompass materials research for power generation and turbines, with a specific focus on repair and lifespan assessment. The findings provide crucial information to enhance the safety and efficiency of these vital systems. |
