Technical characteristics and production processes of compressor rotor and stator blades and steam turbine blades largely vary with respect to the application they are made for.
Material span stainless steel to nickel alloys to titanium alloys while shape and dimensions may vary from few millimiters till 1.500 millimiters.
Typically parts are produced by several machining processes starting from forged raw blades or bars. Additional operations like welding of multiple airfoils, coating or brazing may be required.
SP role is to distribute to each plant the necessary drawings and manufacturing specification, to manage the supply chain and to check the quality of each production process.
MAIN PHASES OF THE PRODUCTION PROCESS
INSPECTION, QUALITY AND DOCUMENTATION
All the parts produced are checked and inspected. All the test reports are analysed and approved.
Complete Manufacturing Test Reports related to Forging, Machining, Welding and Coating and traceability records are given to the customer if required.
