    RWE Power International provides services to evaluate the quality and remaining useful life of coatings on industrial gas turbine blades. Their solution uses specialized eddy current technology to measure ceramic and metallic coating thickness within tight tolerances. They also analyze coating systems in a laboratory to assess quality and predict performance in service. This allows customers to ensure coating quality, avoid premature blade failure, and extend the life of their gas turbine plants beyond manufacturer recommendations, saving both time and costs.

    Gas turbine blade coatings


    Modern industrial gas turbines are manufactured with
    sophisticated techniques and from exotic materials and
    as such present considerable problems when considering
    in-service inspections.
    The Problem
    Quality of ceramic or metallic (MCrAlY) thermal
    barrier coatings of industrial gas turbine blades
    at manufacture or refurbishment can have
    significant consequences on service life. Varying
    TBC layer thickness can lead to crack propagation,
    or poor bonding and may cause premature exposure
    of blade surfaces to extreme temperatures.
    The Challenge
    To overcome the inherent physical and scientific
    difficulties in applying traditional NDT techniques
    to Industrial GT components in order to evaluate
    both manufacturing/process quality and estimate
    remaining useful life of coating/substrate systems.
    Our Solution
    The utilisation of specialised Eddy Current technology,
    enabling ceramic coatings to be measured within 5
    microns and metallic coatings to within 25 microns
    at critical positions, combined with laboratory
    analysis of high temperature coating systems.
    Additional techniques assess the remaining useful
    life of MCrAlY coatings.

    Product
    pre-service QA/QC of blades:
    coating thickness
    coating composition
    type of coating supplied
    behaviour in service compared to other
    similar coatings
    replicas of coating systems from various
    manufacturers available, and used in laboratory
    for detailed analysis
    in-service assessment of blades and remnant
    coating life.
    Benefits
    significant time/cost savings from assuring coating
    quality and avoiding premature component failure
    significant time/cost savings from extending plant
    life (beyond manufacturer recommendations)
    reduced chance of unplanned outage time
    improved insurance profile.
