Aero-engine combustion liners are subject to tough service environments

such as high temperature

high pressure

high thermal stress and vibration stress. As aero-engine performance is enhanced

combustion temperature is increased continuously

and thus it raises higher requirements on cooling structure

substrate material

and surface protection. Focused on foreign aero-engine combustion liner

this paper introduces structural design characteristics for top three manufacturers

and reviews applications of material and manufacture process. It reveals commonly used superalloys along with its properties

and processes of casting

sheet metal working

welding

coating

laser drilling. Finally

it describes prospects of combustion liner material and manufacture process

as well as latest progress and application of ceramic matrix composites.
