Techniques for Reducing Sand and Dust Erosion in Small Gas Turbine Engines 700706
The results of an experimental investigation of the nature and characteristics of the effect of dust on the erosion of a small gas turbine engine are presented. From laboratory tests, superior erosion-resistant materials were selected for evaluation in engine tests. These tests have indicated that the service life of the engine can be doubled by the utilization of selected coatings.
