Does anyone have experience with reducing compressor blade to case clearances using abraidable coatings, ie... Aluminum, Honeycomb...? I am looking for the effects of different clearances on compressor performance or possible surge due to excessive turbulence caused a negative clearance. I am...
If I direct compressed air to the inlet of a compressor, would I expect a benefit because of a higher inlet presssure or would it be at ambient pressure since it is released? I beleive I am asking the correct forum?
I would like to join two cylinders via EB weld and would rather not do a PWHT, other than possible a simple stress releive. The parent material is 17-4 in the H1100 condition. Does anyone have any thoughts on this procedure or data to on the mechanical properties?
