Restoration of Hydropower Turbine Guide Vanes Using Laser Cladding

Guide vanes are critical components of a hydropower turbine, controlling and directing water flow into the runner. After long-term operation, their surfaces can suffer from wear, erosion, and cavitation, resulting in changes to the original dimensions and profile.

Instead of replacing the entire component, Laser Cladding can be used to rebuild the worn areas, restore the required dimensions, and improve the surface’s resistance to wear and cavitation.

After cladding, the guide vane is machined to restore the required dimensions and profile. Depending on the operating conditions, the cladding material can be selected to meet specific requirements for hardness, wear resistance, and cavitation resistance.

Laser Cladding allows the existing component to be reused, reduces the amount of material that needs to be replaced, and extends its service life, making it a suitable solution for high-value hydropower components.

Phuong Dong provides a complete restoration solution, including inspection, damage assessment, material selection, Laser Cladding, finish machining, and quality inspection.
