Rotary shafts
Rotary Shaft Refurbishment
For Gas turbines
Function
How It Works and operation
Gas turbine rotary shafts are vital components that transmit rotational energy between the turbine and other system elements. Over time, these shafts are subjected to extreme stresses, high temperatures, and corrosive environments, which can lead to wear, surface damage, and fatigue. The refurbishment process restores the shaft’s functionality and extends its service life using advanced techniques such as laser cladding, hard facing, and precision machining. These methods repair worn or damaged areas while maintaining the shaft’s mechanical integrity. The process involves applying metallurgically bonded materials to the worn sections and performing post-cladding heat treatment to enhance durability and performance.

Design and Innovation
TGT employs state-of-the-art laser cladding technology, which ensures minimal heat input, reducing distortion and maintaining the shaft’s dimensional accuracy. This method produces a metallurgical bond with low dilution rates, enhancing the repaired section’s durability. Advanced CNC grinding and polishing techniques restore the shaft’s surface finish and geometric tolerances to within 0.01 mm. Additionally, automated hard facing using robotic systems ensures uniform coating thickness and quality. The use of proprietary repair procedures guarantees that the refurbished shafts match or exceed their original performance, even under the most demanding conditions.
