Specifically with compressors there must be a reason it hasn’t been done yet.
Racing tends to breed technology, so why hasn’t a carbon reiforced plastic been used in elite levels of drag racing? This is our answer.
It may be like I said, as simple as incompatibility of materials for thermal expansion.
In my studies (Stationary/Power engineering) we get into metallurgy but not at the depth to properly answer why it hasn’t been done. I can speculate though.
Ya that I don’t know. I would guess like you said thermal expansion and heat. I’ve seen CF blocks and engines being reproduced but I’m sure there not capable of handling track car like heat.
