Free Forging Segment

Open-die forging is a forging process that uses simple tools and equipment to deform a metal blank at high temperature to the desired shape and size by hammering or pressure. Compared with die forging, open-die forging is more flexible and can be used to produce large or complex metal parts.

Turbine segment is a modular part of turbomachinery consisting of multiple turbine blades and other components. Each turbine segment usually contains a ring of blades, which are mounted on a wheel to form a complete turbine stage. Open-die forging turbine segments refer to 터빈 부문 components manufactured using the open-die forging process.

Advantages of open-die forging turbine segments

높은 강도와 내구성

The open-die forging process can produce high-strength and high-toughness metal parts suitable for high stress and high temperature environments. Due to the density and uniformity of the material, the open-die forging turbine segment has excellent fatigue strength and crack resistance.

High material utilization rate

The open-die forging process can effectively reduce material waste, especially when producing large or complex turbine segments, the material utilization rate is higher.

Strong flexibility

The open-die forging process is flexible and not limited by the die, which is suitable for the production of small batches or customized turbine segment components. Suitable for manufacturing large turbine segments, capable of processing a variety of metal materials, including high-temperature alloy titanium alloy, Inconel, Hastelloy, Nimonic, Monel, stainless steel, etc.

High internal quality

The free forging process can effectively eliminate pores and defects in the material, improve the internal structure, and enhance the mechanical properties of the components. The performance of the turbine segment can be further optimized through heat treatment and processing control.

Application areas

Steam turbines and gas turbines are the main equipment in power plants. The turbines are driven by high-temperature and high-pressure steam or gas, and the mechanical energy of the rotation is converted into electrical energy through the generator.

Aeroengines are the power source of aircraft, and their components are required to have extremely high reliability and performance. The geometry and dimensional accuracy of the turbine segment have a direct impact on the performance of the engine. High-precision manufacturing processes can ensure the reliability and efficiency of the turbine segment.

Industrial turbines are used to drive various mechanical equipment, such as compressors, pumps, and generators, and are widely used in petrochemical, manufacturing, and power industries.

Power plants use various types of turbines for power generation. The turbines used in power plants require the turbine segment to have efficient energy conversion capabilities to improve the overall power generation efficiency.

Ship: In the marine environment, the turbine segment needs to have excellent corrosion resistance to resist the erosion of salt spray and moisture to ensure long-term reliable operation.
