The importance of turbines in modern industry is self-evident, whether it is used in power generation, aerospace or automotive industry, the manufacturing quality of its core components – turbines is directly related to the overall performance of the system. This article will give you an in-depth understanding of our turbine wheel processing process through specific examples.
1.Innovative design and digital modeling
- In the case of a recently customized turbine for a large power plant, our design team first used SolidWorks software for 3D modeling. During the design process, the engineers not only considered traditional geometric parameters, but also performed fluid dynamics analysis and thermal stress simulation through ANSYS software. The purpose of this is to ensure that the turbine can maintain good performance in high temperature and high pressure environments. After many iterations and optimizations, we finally determined a design solution that can meet the customer’s needs and has high efficiency.
2.Selected quality materials
- In terms of material selection, we chose IN718 superalloy as the main material for the turbine. This material is known for its excellent heat resistance and fatigue resistance, making it ideal for turbine manufacturing. When purchasing raw materials, we strictly screen suppliers and conduct comprehensive chemical composition analysis and mechanical properties testing for each batch of materials. For example, the most recent purchase of IN718 alloy underwent a number of tests, including hardness testing and tensile testing, before being placed in storage to ensure that it meets our high standards.
3.High precision machining technology
- The processing stage is the core technical link in our process flow. A five-axis machining center, for example, is capable of complex three-dimensional cutting, ensuring that the Angle and thickness of each turbine blade is up to design standards. For example, when machining a recent batch of turbine turbines, we used sophisticated CNC programming technology to ensure that the edges of each blade are smooth and burr free, thereby reducing air resistance and increasing efficiency. In addition, we have used laser cladding technology to enhance the wear resistance of certain key parts.
4.Strict quality control
- Every machined turbine component needs to undergo rigorous quality checks. For example, during a recent quality audit, we used a coordinate measuring instrument (CMM) to accurately measure the dimensions of the turbine, ensuring that all dimensional tolerances were within allowable limits. In addition, we performed X-ray non-destructive testing (NDT) to check for any internal defects such as cracks or pores.
5.Comprehensive performance testing
- After assembly, turbines undergo a series of rigorous performance tests. For example, the turbines we have customized for the aforementioned power plants have been subjected to simulation run tests before leaving the factory to test their performance under different load conditions. The test results showed that the turbine achieved the expected efficiency at the designed speed and did not show significant wear or performance degradation after prolonged operation.
- Through the above detailed processing process, our company not only guarantees the high quality of turbines, but also provides customers with reliable solutions. In the future, we will continue to optimize the process and introduce more advanced technologies to provide customers with more excellent products and services.
