Tungsten fiber reinforced FeCrAlY - A first generation composite turbine blade materialGeneral and composite turbine blade material requirements are examined to identify a specific tungsten fiber reinforced superalloy (TFRS) having, in addition to strength, the desired combination of other material properties needed in turbine blades. Experimental data indicated that a thoriated tungsten fiber reinforced FeCrAlY matrix composite should have the stress-rupture, creep, tensile, fatigue, and impact strengths required for turbine blades operating from 1250 to 1370 K. Fabrication and design concepts are developed to demonstrate the feasibility of fabricating a hollow TFRS turbine blade at reasonable cost.
