ETD is launching a new 6-month duration multi-client Group Sponsored Project (GSP). This involves the use of ETD’s state of the art portable Scanning Force Microscope (SFM) for the on-site inspection of Gas Turbine blades for their gamma prime particle coarsening and blade condition assessment. After some preliminary successful work in the laboratory on cut out pieces from a GT blade, we are encouraged to take this development to the next phase of optimising the etching, SFM image resolution parameters and developing some basic relationship parameters between the coarsening of the gamma prime precipitates and the blade condition.
This investigation should be of huge benefit to the GT blade manufacturers, plant owners and operators to have access to a new and innovative technology and tool that helps to non-destructively examine and assess the condition and life of GT blades saving significant costs.
ETD has a global reputation for providing expert Power and Process Plant Inspection, Integrity and Asset Management/ Assessment Services for quarter of a century. We offer expert technical support in a broad range of areas and can provide competitive proposals for services (both Consulting and NDT) for your 2023/24 Plant outages.
A special issue of the journal ‘Materials at High Temperature’ has been published based on the proceedings of the ETD’s MIMA-2 Int. Conference held on 11-13 October 2022. The conference brought together researchers, scientists, and industry experts from around the world to discuss the latest advancements and challenges in the field of materials at high temperatures. The special issue of the journal includes papers presented at the conference, covering a wide range of topics such as Plant life assessment, Normalising temperature selection for creep performance, Residual life assessment of critical piping systems, and Plant Inspection and maintenance. The issue serves as a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners interested in the field.

After the success of the first MIMA conference (MIMA-1) in October 2020, this is the 2nd in this unique MIMA series of International Conferences (MIMA-2) where practising industry engineers and international experts from around the world will be presenting. Like MIMA-1 we have again received some excellent presentations on the development of new high temperature steels (such as MARBN and ASME P91, P92), experience with the old and development of new and innovative inspection and monitoring techniques and related issues, plant flexibility/creep-fatigue damage, component damage/ cracking, RBI, plant design and condition/ life assessment challenges. Usually majority of the presentations in ETD’s conferences are ‘from industry for industry’ with new developments described by the research community.
