  • Patent number: 11719524
    Abstract: A method and system for measuring a turbine shape is provided in which an appropriate measurement accuracy can be achieved that is sufficient to prevent a failure to recognize features of shape of a measurement object, with extension of a measurement time suppressed. In a turbine including casings, recesses and protrusions on flange surfaces of the casings are measured at measurement intervals M set on the basis of the entire length L of flange portions in an axial direction, the number of bolts N joining the flange portions, and intervals between the bolts in the axial direction of the flange portions.

  • Patent number: 11149589
    Abstract: In assembling a turbine including: a casing consisting of an upper half part and a lower half part fastened together by bolts; a stationary body accommodated in the casing and supported by the lower half part; and a rotary body supported by a plurality of bearings so as to be situated on the inner side of the stationary body, there are executed: a procedure of reading a finite element model of the three-dimensional configuration of the turbine; a reading procedure of reading actual measurement information on the three-dimensional configuration of the upper half part and the lower half part of the casing in the open state; a model correction procedure of reflecting actual measurement information of an evaluated portion that is a specific part of the casing in the finite element model and generating a correction model obtained through correction of the finite element model; a deformation amount estimation procedure of estimating the movement amount of the evaluated portion generated when the upper half part and

  • Publication number: 20160230594
    Abstract: Provided is a steam turbine and a surface treatment method for the steam turbine with which high resistance to environmentally assisted cracking is achieved while also inhibiting the decrease in the effect of compressive residual stress given by shot peening and the complication of the process/treatment. A compressive stress layer to which compressive residual stress has been given by means of shot peening is formed at the surface of a structure (engagement part between a rotor and rotor blades) constituting the steam turbine. Further, a coating layer is formed to cover the surface of the compressive stress layer by means of plating.

  • Publication number: 20140092934
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of evaluating creep damage of a high temperature component which assesses the degree of creep damage of a high temperature component for use under a high temperature environment. In the method of evaluating creep damage of a high temperature component, temporal change in damage parameter of the high temperature component under an uniaxial condition and temporal change in multiaxiality of the high temperature component are obtained, and the temporal change in damage parameter is corrected by the temporal change in multiaxiality to assess the degree of creep damage of the high temperature component.
