Abstract
The claimed invention relates to a method for determining the extent of an oxidation reaction of a coated metallic turbine component within a turbine, comprising determining a plurality of reference oxidation rates for a plurality of locations on the turbine component for a plurality of different turbine operating conditions. The invention also relates to selecting an appropriate oxidation rate from a family of reference oxidation rate data and estimating the oxidation of the coated turbine blade or vane.
