Turbine blades are pure aluminum, which melts at 1220 degrees. They operate inside the compression chamber of the turbine to move gases that are around 1500 degrees. There’s a whole art to making them single crystals and optimizing flow rates so they don’t melt, or explode, or melt and explode. And a lot of work goes into making sure when they do melt and explode, they don’t turn into supersonic bullets. Just barely though, because armor is heavy.
While on the same machine, the turbine blades that melt at 1250 degrees operate at 1500 degrees.
It’s all magic
As a professional aircraft mechanic, I can confirm. It’s all magic
wat?
