Turbine blades, also known as turbomachinery blades or rotor blades, are essential components in turbines, engines, and other rotating machinery. They are designed to extract energy from flowing fluids (such as steam, gas, or water) and convert it into rotational energy to drive generators, compressors, or propellers.
Turbine blades are usually made of high-strength, heat-resistant materials to withstand the extreme working conditions encountered by turbines. Common materials include:
It has the characteristics of high strength, low density, and good corrosion resistance. These properties make turbine components made of titanium alloy have advantages in strength and weight, while also being able to resist corrosion and wear.
Excellent high-temperature strength, oxidation resistance, and corrosion resistance. Inconel can still maintain its performance in high-temperature environments and is suitable for the application of turbine components in high temperature, high pressure, and corrosive media.
It has excellent corrosion resistance, especially in strong acid, strong alkali, and high temperature environments. Turbine components made of Hastelloy can work in harsh chemical environments and have a long service life.
Good high-temperature performance and mechanical properties. Nimonic is suitable for turbine components at high temperatures and can provide the required strength and durability.
Monel has good corrosion resistance and certain mechanical properties. It can be used in some specific working conditions, such as marine environments or sulfur-containing media.
It can obtain higher strength and hardness through aging treatment, and has good toughness and processing properties. It can be used for aircraft engine parts
Jet engine: In a jet engine, the turbine impeller is used to extract energy from the high-temperature and high-pressure airflow in the combustion chamber and drive the compressor and generator to provide power to propel the aircraft.
Propeller engine: Some aircraft use propeller engines, in which the turbine impeller is used to turn the propeller to propel the aircraft forward.
Gas turbine: Gas turbines used in power plants and industrial facilities use turbine impellers to extract energy from high-temperature and high-pressure gases to drive generators to generate electricity.
Steam turbine: In steam power stations and nuclear power plants, steam turbines use turbine impellers to extract energy from high-pressure steam to generate mechanical power or electrical energy.
Ship propeller: Some ships use turbine impellers as the core components of ship propellers to transfer power to the propellers in the water to propel the ship forward.
Industrial compressor: In chemical plants and manufacturing industries, industrial compressors use turbine impellers to compress gases or liquids to generate the required pressure or flow.
Wind turbine: In the wind energy industry, wind turbines use turbine impellers to extract kinetic energy from wind energy and turn generators to generate electrical energy.
Turbocharger: Some car engines are equipped with a turbocharger, in which a turbine wheel is used to compress the intake air and increase the engine’s power output.
