Progress in Net Shape Fabrication of Alpha SIC Turbine Components

An update of the status of ceramic component development of the AGT Programs is presented. Activity on AGTO Program focussed on the following: successful transition from the prototype to engine configuration rotor, investigation of alternate rotor molding techniques, and completion of scroll assemblies. Progress on the Garrett AGT Program was highlighted by the introduction of plastic molding and extrusion to parts which were previously fabricated by slip casting and isopressing respectively.
