Welding Method For Rotating Shafts
US Patent:
5280849, Jan 25, 1994
Filed:
Oct 6, 1992
Appl. No.:
7/957225
Inventors:
George W. Galanes - Wheaton IL
Assignee:
Commonwealth Edison - Chicago IL
International Classification:
B32K 3102, B23P 604
US Classification:
228119
Abstract:
An improved welding method is provided for repairing rotating shafts, particularly cracked high pressure steam turbine rotors. The welding method preferably employs a 2. 25Cr--1. 0Mo--0. 3V-type welding filler metal, preferably deposited using a narrow groove automatic gas tungsten arc welding technique. A narrow groove is formed in the rotor to remove the crack. The groove is preheated, filled with the welding filler metal, and postheated, resulting in a strong, high temperature resistant, long lasting weld.
Welding Method For Rotatable Shafts
US Patent:
5348212, Sep 20, 1994
Filed:
Jan 14, 1994
Appl. No.:
8/181992
Inventors:
George W. Galanes - Wheaton IL
Assignee:
Commonwelth Edison - Chicago IL
International Classification:
B23K 3102
US Classification:
228135
Abstract:
An improved welding method is provided for repairing broken rotors. The welding method preferably employs a 2. 25Cr-1. 0Mo-0. 3V-type filler metal, preferably deposited using a narrow groove welding technique. The broken pieces are aligned end to end. A narrow groove is formed to substantially remove the end surfaces. The groove is preheated, filled with the welding filler metal, and postheated, resulting in a strong, high temperature resistant, long lasting weld.
