Turbocharger

Engine Turbo or Turbocharger is a device that is usually attached to the engine exhaust manifold to pump exhaust gas into the engine to increase engine power without having to increase the number and capacity of cylinders.

Nowadays, we know a lot about turbocharger when reading car information. However, turbocharger is very widely applied not only in the car field, it is also applied in marine, aviation, motorbikes, trucks…

Turboccharger is of great importance to the performance of the main propulsion or auxiliary engine in the transportation and installation of power generation. Although their construction and operation are quite simple, with only one turbine rotor driving the compressor wheel, which is the only moving part, they are very susceptible to damage. Often the turbine shaft shafts and washers/sealers are worn, turbine wheel blades are damaged by rubbing against the housing, compressor wheels are also very often damaged blades also by rubbing and the bearing housing is worn.

Regardless of the reason, damaged parts need to be safely and reliably replaced or repaired because the high rotational speed and force generated are pushing the parts to the limit. These are expensive spare parts and are often not readily available in stock, thereby increasing machine downtime and money losses. The solution is to repair it with a safe and reliable technique is Laser Cladding. Applying Laser Cladding technology can repair all kinds of turbochargers and their components. Turbine bearings and washers are restored to their original dimensions, by welding, and machining and grinding.

The advantage of Laser Cladding is that the Laser Cladding coating achieves a strong metallurgical bond, making this repair 100% reliable and safe, compared to other coating techniques that are easy to flaking. Mechanical processing is carried out using multi-axis CNC machines ensuring that the final dimensions and profiles are met with a tolerance of less than 0.01mm. The advantage of Laser Cladding is that the repair process is very fast, time is reduced to a minimum and is 100% safe due to metallurgical bonding. It is therefore a cost-effective solution as it restores the lifetime and value of critical parts whose replacement with new parts means high costs and long wait time because there are no available…
