Abstract
A turbine blade is a component which complete the turbine section of a gas turbine or steam turbine. The blades of turbine are responsible for withdrawing energy from the high pressure, high temperature gas produced in the combustor. The turbine blades are very often the limiting and critical component of gas turbines. In this paper three most widely used materials are selected such as titanium alloy, IN738 and high strength alloy. For thermal and structural analysis, a 3 D FEM model was created using Creo 2.0 and velocity diagram was prepared for the actual working diagram of the gas turbine. The important parameters are considered for this analysis such as temperature of gas, forces through velocity diagram and ambient temperature and pressure conditions. After FEM analysis using ANSYS workbench 15.0 was analyzed for stress induced due to thermal and structural loading, form the FEM analysis it is found that Titanium alloy is found most promising material for the turbine blade in gas power plants
