Influence of the heat treatment procedure on the stress corrosion cracking behaviour of low pressure turbine blade material FV566

Stress corrosion cracking is one of the leading damage mechanisms in low-pressure turbines in the power generation industry; in LP turbine blades it primarily occurs in the last stage blades. The research investigated the influence of tempering temperature on the microstructure, mechanical propertie...
