A design is only as effieient as the performanee of the seleeted eomponent materials. The eombustor liner and turbine blades are the most eritieal eomponents in existing high-performanee, long-life gas turbines. The extreme eonditions of stress, temperature, and eorrosion make the gas turbine blade a materials ehallenge. Other turbine eomponents present operational problem areas, but to a lesser degree. For this reason, gas turbine blade metallurgy will be diseussed for solutions to problem areas. Definition of potential solutions will also relate to other turbine eomponents. 

Prehistoric metallurgy developed empirically. It was handed down from teacher to student and hence improved only slowly. In antiquity, seven elements (according to today s definition) were... 

Finally, alchemical contracts served as moments of definition and decision in an otherwise indeterminate alchemical landscape. Given the fluidity about ideas such as who should practice alchemy, what its goals should be, whether it was best situated as a part of natural philosophy, medicine, metallurgy, or all three, and so on, the contract was a useful...

An ion exchange reaction is usually considered as taking place between a solid and a liquid phase. A degree of flexibility in this definition is required in order to accommodate the various organic liquid ion exchangers which have found important application over the last 40 years, especially in the field of extraction metallurgy. The...
