Abstract
To evaluate the high-temperature containment capability of a turbine casing, the impact resistance of half-ring specimens and full circular casings made of GH4169 nickel-based alloy was investigated. Ballistic impact tests were first conducted on GH4169 half-ring specimens using blade-shaped projectiles of DZ125 material fired from a single-stage gas gun. Meanwhile, explicit finite element simulations of the half-ring impact tests were performed with LS-DYNA. Comparing experimental and simulation results validated the accuracy of the model and revealed the effects of impact angle and ambient temperature. Then the process of a turbine casing containing a blade at 500 °C was simulated using the validated FE model. The results showed that the impact angle and the ambient temperature significantly affect the impact resistance of GH4169 half-ring specimen. Furthermore, the interaction mechanism between the turbine blade and casing differs across the three stages of the containment process.
