PROTECTION OF STEAM TURBINE BLADES AGAINST EROSION BY USING LASER CLADDING
Journal Title: Tribologia - Year 2012, Vol 242, Issue 2
Abstract
In this study, the problem of steam turbines’ blades erosive destruction is analysed. The currently used methods of blade protection using stellite 6 protective plates is outlined in this study. The advantages of this method are also mentioned, i.e. the plates falling off during turbine operation. A method of steam turbine blade protection obtained in the process of protective coatings produced by laser cladding on the blades’ surface are also presented. After 11 months of the turbine operation, an examination of its condition was conducted. The examination indicated that the blades with the coating were less eroded, especially those cladded with stellite 6, than the blades without the coating. It was proved that laser cladding of the coatings ensures the best process of their production and the high quality of the coating.
