Jack Wood - Background & Experience 33 years (9/1968 - 4/2001) at General Electric Power Systems: includes 10 years as technical leader and principal engineer in superalloy and coating development. Superalloy research and development: Ni-base and Co-base alloy development; heat treatment studies; microstructural stability studies; failure analysis of gas turbine hardware; 4 patents.              -Evaluated and selected IN-738 as GE bucket alloy (1st commercial use of 738)              -Castability improvement studies of IN-738 leading to introduction of IN-738LC              -Developed and patented GTD-111 (primary GE bucket alloy)              -Developed and patented GTD-222 (latter stage nozzle alloy) -Bucket failure analysis work on all GE gas turbine frame sizes: 3002, 5001, 5002, 6B, 7E, 7F & FA+, 9E, 9F High temperature coatings: Overlay coating (MCrAlY) development: Coating type and process selection for gas turbine hardware; coating life studies on overlay and diffusion coatings; development of coating life prediction models; evaluation of serviced coatings (gas turbine applications); coating failure analysis; 3 patents. Development of bucket MCrAlY and overaluminided MCrAlY Coating Systems: GT-29, GT-29PLUS, GT-33, GT-33PLUS Worked with aluminide coating suppliers in developing simultaneous internal and external aluminide coating processes for cooled buckets and nozzles Coating performance analyses on buckets and nozzles from all frame size machines Responsibility for development and/or selection of all high temperature alloys and coatings used in most GE gas turbine hot section component designs through year 2000.
