The 1st stage buckets in Frame 3002, 10 MW industrial gas turbine experienced premature failures. The buckets failed unexpectedly much earlier than the designed bucket life. Bucket material is Inconel 738, with platinum-aluminized coating on the surface. Failure investigation of the buckets was performed to know the root cause of the failure. The failure investigation primarily comprised of metallurgical investigation. The results of the metallurgical investigation were co-related with the unit operational history. This paper provides an overview of 1st stage buckets investigation. The metallurgical investigation performed concluded prime failure mechanism due to high carbon content of bucket material and improper heat treatment. The bucket coating was initially damaged during the first loading and fracture occurred due to grain boundary embrittlement in short span of service. The metallurgical tests performed included Visual inspection, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive Analysis of X-ray (EDS), Chemical analysis, Tensile test and Hardness survey. The test results, discussions and conclusions are presented in this paper.
