Gas turbines provide a reliable and efficient production of power in both pilot power plants and aircraft propulsion. The operating cost of the modern gas turbines is greatly influenced by the durability of hot section components. To cope up with the increasing temperature, there has been an evolution of new generation blade materials. At elevated temperature conditions, thermal stress and resulting deformations can affect the power developed and efficiency. In this paper a finite element simulation has been made on a fixed blade profile to explore various factors affecting the turbine blade. Variety of existing and new generation materials have been considered a under a boundary condition of constant high pressure and high Operating temperature was varied between 1000°C-1400°C. The development of stress and deformation along with the heat flux have been studied for finding the most effective manufacturing alloy for gas turbines.
