If you are talking about an oil or gas turbine, it can work if designed properly. I would personally use inconel or waspalloy in that these retain their strength under heat better than 304. A compromise would be 409 stainless (feritic) which comes with its own set of challenges.

Whatever you do, do not use 304 offshore.

It suffers sulphur pitting and will spontaneously fracture.

This is the voice of experience and I have initiated worlwide service bulletins on this issue.
