The Wear Problem of Turbine Shaft Insert Ring in Hydropower Plants
The turbine shaft insert ring is a critical component in hydropower turbine shafts. After long-term operation, it is often subjected to wear, scratches, or corrosion due to continuous friction and harsh working environments. This leads to leakage, reduced efficiency, and poses a significant risk of serious system failures.
Instead of a full replacement, Laser Cladding offers a precise, cost-effective, and durable solution for restoring the damaged surface.
Why Choose Laser Cladding for Turbine Shaft Insert Ring Restoration?
- Low heat input – no distortion of base material
- High-performance wear-resistant alloy coating
- Strong metallurgical bonding – long service life
- High accuracy with CNC-controlled process
- Cost savings up to 50–70% compared to replacement
Laser Cladding Repair Process for Turbine Shaft Insert Rings
- Inspect and assess the condition of the worn bearing
- Clean and prepare the surface
- Mount the part on a CNC rotary table
- Perform laser cladding with selected alloy powder
- Finish machining (turning/grinding)
- Inspect coating thickness, adhesion, hardness, and surface finish
Practical Applications in Hydropower Plants
Phuong Dong’s laser cladding technology has been successfully applied in many hydropower projects, including:
- Nam Luc Hydropower Plant
- Song Lo Hydropower Plant
- Ba Thuoc Hydropower Plant
- And various other hydropower facilities across Vietnam
