Future gas turbine engines will have better fuel efficiencies and lower operating costs. This will require new and advanced materials with higher temperature capabilities. This paper discusses some of the presently applied materials in the turbine section of gas turbines, and reviews the material developments that are occurring and will be necessary for the near and long term futures.
