Nickle based super alloys such as Inconel 600 are being extensively used to manufacture turbine blades for jet engines since their superior mechanical characteristics at higher working temps. The chemical composition of steam turbine blades show that is steel 52 it has a wide range of Energy, Tanks, Rail, Yellow Goods, Engineering, Bridges, Construction, applications. Laser cladding seems to be a surfacing method that uses lasers to improve the characteristics of a component’s surface and/or renew it. Laser cladding involves absorption of laser light that melts a small area of the substrates against which the substance was being introduced and fuses the coating substance to the substrates, resulting in the formation of a new layer. This research aims to investigate the fatigue and fatigue corrosion behavior of these turbine blades before and after exposure to laser cladding. The cladding process applied with this parameter Pulse energy = 11 joules, Pulse width = 6 Ms., Pulse frequency = 12 Hz, Laser Average Power = 132 W, Laser peak power = 1.83 KW. The results show, after cladding process the microstructure of the specimen is smooth and increase the cyclic of fatigue comparison with specimen without laser cladding process. So, the fatigue resistance is increased.
The turbine blades utilized in this investigation were made of alloy steel type 52, the same steel used in electric power plants. The current research aims to study the effect of corrosion fatigue behavior on turbine blades when cyclic loads and corrosion work together to degrade a material's mechanical properties. As a result, many engineering structures and components experience early failure. Laser cladding is a method of laser surfacing to improve or rejuvenate the surface of an object. This parameter was used in the cladding process. 132 watts of laser power, with a peak output of 1.83 kilowatts, was used to generate the pulses, with each pulse containing 11 joules of energy. The results reveal that the specimen's microstructure is smoother following the laser cladding procedure and that the corrosion fatigue resistance in the air (without solution) is increased. This paper will look at how laser cladding impacts turbine blades.
The steal turbine blades, operating in steam electricity production plants are subjected to periodic circular stresses that cause fatigue failure with the passage of time. The chemical composition so steam turbine blades show that is steel 52 it has a wide range of applications, mostly in welded construction, All kinds of welded construction, wind turbines, load-lifting equipment, platform components, cranes, bridge components, and structures. This research aims to study the microstructure of these turbine blades before and after the occurrence of fatigue, and for the purpose of improvement the fatigue resistance, the blades were treated with a laser and the amount of improvement in fatigue resistance was calculated and also the change in the microstructure after laser treatment was studied. The remelting process applied with this parameter Pulse energy = 8 joules, Pulse width = 4.5 Ms., Pulse frequency = 12 Hz, Laser Average Power = 96 W, Laser peak power = 1.78 KW. The results show, after remelting process the microstructure of the specimen is smooth and increase the cyclic of fatigue comparison with specimen without leaser remelting process. So, the fatigue resistance is increased.
