A turbine blade of solution annealed INCOLOY alloy 800 is 18 in long and operates at 1400 degrees Fahrenheit. If the tip clearance is 0.2 in and centrifugal forces induce an average longitudinal stress of 10 ksi. After how many hours is expected the blade to interfere with the turbine stator due to creep?
