Characterising the influence of material condition and in-service property evolution of an AlSi-PES abradable on blade-casing interactions

Environmental concerns are pushing manufacturers to improve the efficiency of their aero-engines. A reduction in compressor blade tip clearance can lead to an increase in the overall pressure ratio and thermal efficiency; however, this reduced clearance can lead to more frequent blade-casing intera...
