Technical/logistical challenges, welding repairs on a steam turbine and turbogenerator rotor line
Type
- Vortrag
Topic
- Mobility & Production (Field of Expertise)
One characteristic of the gas and steam turbines built since 1929 by BBC / ABB / Alstom and today GE is that the rotor is welded from individually tempered forged components. With more than 89 years of experience with welded rotors for steam turbines, gas turbines and turbogenerators, GE has successfully welded together more than 7800 turbine rotors. Rotor welding technology can also be used to repair damaged rotors of any type if welding is possible.
In his guest lecture at Graz University of Technology, Sorin Keller, Manager Welding & Brazing Technology – GE Power Switzerland and President of the International Institute of Welding, talks about past developments and future challenges.
A major challenge in future will be to reliably weld established and new materials. The focus is on rationalising welding processes to increase the efficiency of power plants and thus make a lasting contribution to protecting the environment.
