[ 1 ] - The Causes of Local Hardness Increasing in Powerplant Rotors and its Modification by Tempering (TECHNICAL NOTE)
Local hardness increasing on the surface of the power plant rotor may result in severe damages. One major solution for rapid repairing of the rotors is the adaptive tempering heat treatment. For this purpose, after identification of the damaged rotor, initial investigations and tests (such as visual inspection, chemical analysis, nondestructive hardness measurements and replica or on-site metal...
[ 2 ] - An Investigation on the Causes of a Rotor Bending and its Thermal Straightening (TECHNICAL NOTE)
Distortion or bend in a turbine rotor (especially HIP rotors) may be caused by a number of factors, either singularly or in combination. In general, the causes of rotor bend can be classified invariably in two categories: Rapidly forming permanent rotor bends and/or Slower forming rotor bends, which could trip the turbines’ emergency stop. One of the major modifying solutions for rapid repairin...
