Gas turbine blades working under extremely harsh operating conditions are made of superalloys. These superalloys are exposed to various damage mechanisms, which wear them out gradually. Welding is often preferred to repair the damaged components for cost minimization. This study aimed to investigate the effects of flexural load, heat input, and welding speed on the weldability and intergranular liquation cracking of high-chromium Ni-based superalloy. For this purpose, a series of Sigmajig tests designed based on the Taguchi method with L4 array, as well as microstructure investigations and residual stress measurements, were performed. The results showed that the microstructures of heat-affected zones (HAZs) were highly susceptible to cracking during the welding process, and all of these cracks appeared in the HAZ and grew perpendicular to the melting zone along grain boundaries. Flexural load contributed the most substantial impact (82%) on crack propagation compared with the 9.7 and 9.2% impacts of welding speed and welding heat input, respectively. We found that the lowest flexural load, welding speed, and heat input are the best welding parameters to reduce the total crack lengths at the welded area of high-chromium Ni-based superalloy.

Effects of heat input on metallurgical behavior in HAZ of multi-pass and multi-layer welded IN-939 superalloy Mashhuriazar, Amirhossein; Gür, Cemil Hakan; Sajuri, Zainuddin; Omidvar, Hamid (2021-11-01) The hot components of a gas turbine are susceptible to damage in the high-temperature environment of turbine engine operation. Given that these components are relatively costly to manufacture, they are often repaired than replaced when damaged. Fusion welding is an economical method for repairing the damaged components of a gas turbine. This research examines the roles of heat input, pass number and layer number on the intergranular liquation cracking of the Inconel-939 (IN-939) precipitate nickel base supe...
Effect of Fiber Orientation of Bend-Twist Coupled Blades on the Structural Performance of the Wind Turbine System Şener, Özgün; Kayran, Altan (2017-01-05) The effect of fibre angle of bend-twist coupled mixed GFRP-CFRP wind turbine blades on the structural performance of the wind turbine system is studied. For the structural performance evaluation, the effect of the use of off-axis plies in the main spar caps of the bendtwist coupled wind turbine blade on the reduction of damage correspondent internal loads in the whole wind turbine system, electrical power produced, tower-blade end gap, and maximum stress in the blades are taken as major criteria. Different ...
Effect of chromium on the oxidation of steels used in the construction of petroleum refinery heaters Sultan, Abdelrahman Saleh; Karakaya, İshak; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2013) Low chromium steels used in the construction of petroleum refinery heaters work in flue gas environments containing water vapor. On the other hand, the higher oxidation rates of chromium containing steels in moist atmospheres have been reported. P-5, P-22, P-11(containing 5, 2.25 and 1.25 %Cr) and C-5 steels, used in petroleum refinery construction, were subjected to isothermal oxidation tests. These steels were tested in two different environments; air and flue gas of natural gas combustion -CO2+2H2O+7.52N...
Effect of Turbine Blade Tip Cooling Configuration on Tip Leakage Flow and Heat Transfer Sakaoğlu, Sergen; Kahveci, Harika Senem (2019-06-21) The pressure difference between suction and pressure sides of a turbine blade leads to the so-called phenomenon, the tip leakage flow, which most adversely affects the first-stage high-pressure (HP) turbine blade tip aerodynamics. In modern gas turbines, HP turbine blade tips are also exposed to extreme thermal conditions requiring the use of tip cooling. If the coolant jet directed into the blade tip gap cannot counter the leakage flow, it will simply add up to the pressure losses due to this leakage flow....
