The Garrett/Ford AGT101 Program has progressed through initial design, fabrication, and first generation aerodynamic component tests, and currently is focused on engine test bed development and ceramic component development. Design A ceramic components of excellent visual quality have been received from the AiResearch Casting Company, Carborundum Company, Corning, Ford, and NGK. These components are being qualified for engine testing through a sequence of evaluations that include bulk density, NDE, dimensional inspection, visual examination up to 40x magnification, selected mechanical and thermal screening tests, and static structure rig tests. Individual static structure ceramic components have been qualified up to 2100 F in thermal screening tests. The complete ceramic static structure, consisting of 49 components, has successfully been tested under cyclic conditions in the static structure test rig to the Mod I design conditions of 1600 F. A bladed rotor, fabricated cooperatively by AiResearch Casting Company and Ford Motor Company, has been spin tested at room temperature to 102000 rpm.
