Popis: This paper deals with the failure investigations of the first stage gas turbine blade of 30MW gas turbine. This blade is manufacture with of nickel based super alloy IN738. The main focus of the paper is to found the causes of failure of the blade. The investigations included the visual inspection, SEM fractrography, chemical analysis, microstructure analysis, X-ray diffraction and stress evaluation by using Finite Element Software ANSYS. By these investigations, it is found that the blade failure takes place due to the combined effect of erosion, oxidation, overheating, and hot corrosion.
