Welding and Thermal Spray Processes for Maintenance of Hydraulic Turbine Runners: Case Studies

Abstract: Hydraulic runners are susceptible to failures by cracks or wear by erosion, corrosion, or cavitation. The modern runners are fabricated in carbon steel and martensitic stainless steel. Arc welding processes normally do the repair of eroded areas, or cracked parts. Each material or type of repair needs specific criteria, procedures, and precautions to guarantee their success and prevent future issues, like the recurrence of the cracks or reduction of the useful life of the runner by modifications of the origina… Show more

“…This uses lower temperatures to avoid changes in the structure of the base material. The use of subsequent heat treatments is always predominant to recover the mechanical properties exposed to temperature [52,53]. The recuperation process of a Pelton turbine has many steps, beginning with the erosion inspection, and ending with static balancing, transportation, and proper storage.…”

“…Entre os vários métodos de proteção por uso de revestimento, a Aspersão Térmica (ASP) de um material adequado sobre uma superfície pode prolongar a vida útil da peça, mantendo suas propriedades mecânicas originais, enquanto protege contra o desgaste e a corrosão [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. Comparativamente, o processo de ASP por arco elétrico é uma solução relativamente de baixo custo, rápida e simples de ser executada, podendo ser realizada em campo [16,17]. Seus benefícios refletem nos custos do processo, de forma que a substituição da peça revestida ocorrerá em um intervalo de tempo maior, e ainda, para uma aplicação que necessita que suas superfícies resistam ao atrito gerado por outras superfícies ou partículas, será possível a utilização de um material de menor custo com a aplicação de um revestimento altamente resistente a abrasão [7,13,18].…”
