A turbine blade of solution annealed INCOLOY alloy 800 is 18 in long and operates at 1400 degrees Fahrenheit. If the tip clearance is 0.2 in and centrifugal forces induce an average longitudinal stress of 10 ksi. After how many hours is expected the blade to interfere with the turbine stator due to creep?
Given that the working temperature = 1400oF
The Tensile modulous of INCOLOY alloy 800 at the given temperature is given in below table.
Modulous = 21.06 x103 ksi
Stress / Strain = 21.06 x103 ksi
Longitudinal stress = 10 ksi
Strain = Stress / 21.06 x103 = 10/ 21.06 x103. =0.000475 inches per second
Given that the diameter is 18 inches
Gap is 0.2 inches
Centrifugal force acts both side we have to consider radial growth only
time to fill the gap = 0.2/ 0.000475 = 421.2 seconds= 7.02 min = 0.117 hours
