Larson-Miller parameter

The Larson-Miller parameter is a way engineers estimate how long a metal or alloy will last at high temperatures before it weakens or fails. It combines temperature and time into a single value, allowing for quick comparisons and predictions of material durability. Essentially, it helps determine if a material can withstand certain operating conditions by calculating a constant based on temperature and time, making it easier to plan maintenance, safety, and design decisions in high-temperature environments like engines or turbines.
