Abstract
This chapter deals with the failures and problems that have been encountered in the various components of gas turbines. This chapter has been written not as a criticism of any manufacturer but as a guide to the end user of these gas turbines on what they should be looking for to ensure that they would not suffer the same problems. The aerospace engines have been the leaders in most of the technology in the gas turbine over the past half-century. The design criteria for these engines were high reliability and high performance, with many starts and flexible operation throughout the flight envelope. The industrial gas turbine has always emphasized long life and this conservative approach has often resulted in the industrial gas turbine giving up high performance for rugged operation. The industrial gas turbine has been conservative in the pressure ratio and the firing temperatures.
