In this article I shall discuss high temperature materials in the narrow context of their development in the field of gas turbine applications, particularly turbine blades. Being a rotating component and therefore subject to a high centrifugal load, the turbine blade experiences a more severe combination of stress and temperature than any other component in the engine.
