This paper investigates the durability of Ceramic Matrix Composite (CMC) and Nickel Superalloy materials in gas turbine combustor liners across different flight conditions. Thermo-mechanical and physical properties of CMCs are assessed and compared with selected superalloys (i.e., Inconel 625, Hastelloy X, SiC/SiC, Al2O3/B4C, and Al2O3/SiO2) using ...
