Careers Gas Turbine Spalling & High-Temperature Corrosion Protection
The Challenges Facing Gas Turbines Today
High-performance gas turbines are the backbone of modern power generation, including large-frame platforms such as the GE 9HA gas turbine (GE 9HA.01), Siemens SGT units, and Mitsubishi M501 series.
However, these turbines operate in extreme high-temperature environments that create significant long-term reliability challenges.
- High-Temperature Corrosion: Prolonged exposure to temperatures exceeding 1000°F results in oxidation, particularly in the compressor discharge and combustor sections.
- Oxide Flake Spallation: Flakes from unprotected steel surfaces clog cooling passages and damage components downstream, leading to premature wear.
- Increased Maintenance Costs: Frequent forced outages disrupt operations and escalate repair expenses.
Increasing Turbine Maintenance Costs
Uncontrolled oxidation and spallation increase the frequency of GE turbine maintenance, inspections, and repair campaigns. The result is reduced efficiency, higher operational costs, and shortened equipment life.
Why Gas Turbine Owners Trust IGS
At IGS, we specialize in protecting GE, Siemens, and Mitsubishi gas turbines from high-temperature corrosion and spallation with solutions tailored to your operating conditions.
- Patented Superalloy Technology: Developed in collaboration with leading OEMs, our HVTS cladding creates a dense, impermeable barrier that stops oxidation at the source.
- Flexible and Fast Application: We perform on-site applications during planned outages, minimizing downtime while ensuring precision and quality.
-
Proven Long-Term Reliability: Thousands of operating hours across large-frame gas turbines demonstrate measurable reductions in: GE 9HA spallation, Turbine oxidation damage, Downstream component wear, Recurring maintenance costs.
By halting oxidation and wear, our HVTS™ technology reduces maintenance costs and prolongs the life of your critical turbine components.
