Abstract
Used turbine blades are replaced by new once based on manufacturers recommended useful life. However, depending on the turbine operating conditions the blades might have different creep service life. Thus, the aim of this study was to predict the remaining creep life and investigating the microstructure of used gas turbine blades. This was done by using Larson-Miller parameter and Robinson life fraction rules under certain conditions of stress and temperature. The change in microstructure of the materials was analyzed by using the Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM). The result shows that turbine blades suffered from several microstructure changes based on their service life. The method used to predict the remaining useful life of used turbines could be an input to a decision to repair or replace used turbine blades. Keywords: Larson-Miller parameter,life fraction rule, microstructure, creep life, turbine blades.
