Customer background and needs<\/strong><\/p>

Our client is a power company based in Singapore that operates a large gas-fired power station. These power stations use gas turbines manufactured by internationally renowned brands, but during long-term operation, the turbine segment <\/a>components have suffered serious wear and performance degradation. The original parts are not only expensive, but also the delivery cycle is as long as several months, which seriously affects the operational efficiency and cost control of the power station. As a result, customers urgently need an alternative that is both economical and efficient to ensure the stable operation of the power station.<\/p>

Project initiation and analysis<\/strong><\/p>

Upon receiving the customer’s request, our technical team acted quickly to conduct a comprehensive reverse engineering analysis of a badly worn turbine section provided by the customer. We obtained detailed geometric data using a high-precision 3D scanner and determined the alloy composition and microstructure through material analysis. This process not only helped us to accurately understand the design characteristics of the original part, but also found the inadequacies in the design and material selection.<\/p>

Optimized design and custom development<\/p>

Based on the reverse engineering data, our design team set out to optimize the design of the turbine section. First, we simulated the gas flow using advanced CFD (Computational Fluid dynamics) software and optimized the blade shape to improve aerodynamic efficiency. Secondly, we adjusted the cooling channel layout to increase the cooling effect, thus extending the service life of the components. Finally, we chose a nickel-based super alloy that is more resistant to high temperature and corrosion, further improving the overall performance of the components.<\/p>
