METHOD OF FACILITATING VISUAL DETECTION OF A CRACK IN A COMPONENT OF A GAS TURBINE ENGINE

A component of a gas turbine engine comprises a substrate, a corrosion resistant top layer, and an intermediate corrodible layer disposed between the corrosion resistant top layer and the substrate. When corroding, the intermediate layer has a color contrasting with a color of the top layer. A metho...

Zusammenfassung:	A component of a gas turbine engine comprises a substrate, a corrosion resistant top layer, and an intermediate corrodible layer disposed between the corrosion resistant top layer and the substrate. When corroding, the intermediate layer has a color contrasting with a color of the top layer. A method of detecting a crack when it penetrated the top layer in a component of a gas turbine engine having a corrosion resistant top layer and an intermediate corrodible layer comprises, in sequence, observing that at least one area of the component has a color contrasting with that of the top layer; determining that the color of the at least one area is a result of corrosion of the intermediate corrodible layer; and determining that the top layer has a crack as a result of determining corrosion of the intermediate layer. A method of facilitating crack detection in a component is also presented.
