Ceramic component activity under CATE and AGT 100 programs has focused on the development of material strength characteristics in full-scale hardware. Emphasis has been directed toward net-shape processing of silicon carbide components (most notably blades and rotors). Selected components have also been produced from a variety of silicon-based and zirconia materials. State-of-the-art processing and strength characteristics have been realized in the 2070 F-configuration CATE turbine blades. To further improve these properties, a development study is currently being conducted with Carborundum (CBO). In addition, processing methodology for structurally sound AGT 100 gasifier rotors has been established. Fullscale rotors can now be produced with coldspin capability consistently greater than 100 % design speed. Additional studies are currently in progress. Extensive development activities focusing on applicable fixturing and joining technology required for the complex AGT 100 gasifier scroll assembly are also proceeding.
