The materials used for blade and vane applications in aero gas turbines are outlined and the mechanisms via which environmental degradation occurs are discussed with reference to Al2O3− and Cr2O3− forming alloys and coatings. The consequences of environmental degradation on the integrity of turbine blades and vanes are discussed with reference to component lifetimes and performance.
